Been happening in the spring for a couple of years now.  Time for the
annual state safety inspection which means time to spend some $'s and
time getting the GW ready to breeze thru the annual rites of spring. 
For the past couple of years my lovely wife has been lobbying to (perish
the thought) retire the Wagoneer.  She drives the truck on a daily basis
carting the 3 kids around to (fill in the activity).  I'd drive the
truck to work were it not for my 80 mi RT commute.  Even though the gas
gauge has read full for the past 2+ years the fuel supply does have to
be periodically replenished.

She thinks the truck is costing too much to run and is not reliable
anymore - HA.

Anyway, I could use some help lobbying her.  If your significant other
supports you in your efforts to keep one of these classic driving
machines on (and off) the road, have her drop a line to my wife 
by way of my email.

A suggested template: Please don't retire the truck.  Without it to work
on and play with Phil, like my husband,  would likely spend his time ___

watching sports on TV
drinking with his buddies
hanging out at the 'dancing' clubs
other

and would likely spend his money on _______

sports bets
beer
tipping exotic dancers
controlled substances
other

Looks like I'm on the hook to buy another car soon and move the Wag to
the recreational vehicle category.

On the maintenance front, had a lot of frame welding/patching done last
week.  Can recommend a one man shop in southern NH if req'ed, this guy
is a real craftsman.  Exhaust work done on Tues and I replaced a busted
parking brake cable last night.  Ready to go get a sticker.  I'm not
afraid of your stiiinking state safety inspection!
