Little things that go right sure do brighten the day. Had a non-working speedo. Went to the pick-n-pull for another. Speedo worked ok, but couldn't make the odo work - even with my new gear. So, I've got 2 units that I should be able to marry up to make 1 good one. Cut wires, soldered back together, BAM, everything dead now. Bought a whole new, to me, instrument cluster off Ebay and now everything works again. And I didn't even use my new odo gear. On the road again. It sure did feel good driving this one again with speed and mileage recording. It's like having a pebble in your shoe when your Volvo has a little something wrong that you know you can fix.

In addition, I purchased 5 cans of R12 off Ebay for a good price setting myself up for a few more years of cold air conditioning. Yes, it's winter here too but summer's just around the corner.
