Yeah, but if your driving down the street with a blender....people don't smile 
and wave.

Murray has lost 4th gear. I have adjusted and cleaned and taken the shifter 
apart and there is no way around it, he needs a new transmission.
 
I want to go to a really good show in Springfield, MO on the 9th, so I have to 
get it together pretty quick to do that. As I was working my ass off to try any 
trick I could think of to  make the damaged tranny work for, at least a little 
while, it occurred to me that I ought to just walk away. This hobby should not 
take all I have. So what if this old piece of outdated metal doesn’t work. Why 
should it matter more than if a blender in the kitchen broke? If a replacement 
cost on a blender was too much, you would just go without a freakin’ blender 
until you found one cheap.
 
But, no. I have to stop every damn thing and fix Murray. It’s a sickness. I 
need a support group.
