Paul, I am sorry to hear that you have also felt the drag of this past winter. It has been a long, cold, wet, grey winter and sadly one without vw's! My parents house and my own need a lot of attention this past winter and the vw's, sadly, were neglected and just had to wait. It has been just a real big downer, but............ this past weekend was good weather for a change in the DFW area. I got a chance to drive my bug and turn bolts on another vw. ah........, spring is back. and to top it off, spring forward thing, gave an extra hour of daylight to tweak the vw's : ) March 14th, one week to official spring, hang in there. hope ya'll have a great spring and great vw'ing! see you all at nac. Jeff, congrats to mom and dad! Can't wait to see the new addition. Shirley
