Hints

I found out a couple of things today and I am putting them here to remind myself in the future of these little hints.<br />n<br />n1. When you get a vehicle that is "new to you" make sure you can get the jack out of its stowage position with out an hours worth of interior disassembly and a very large wrench applied to a "thumb screw" that is supposed to operated by two fingers.<br />n<br />n2. Study all documentation available on how to unstow the spare tire from the underbody of the vehicle before attempting this procedure. After reading the information supplied with the jack and tools and not being able to get it work after a half hour look in owners manual. After following completely different set of directions in owners manual and still beating your head against the vehicle, have Darling Wife look over documentation. After darling wife finds an illustration with a completeley different way of unstowing the tire, swear out a death curse on the people who designed the stupid thing but finally manage to get the tire down.<br />n<br />nTwo hours to change a tire is a little excessive but I swear the vehicle had a curse on it and didn't want the tire changed but Darling Wife and I won.<br />n<br />n<b>Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe.
