... at El 'Muerto en el Agua' Casa Móvil de Pennington today. SN1 will be on the scene in about a half-hour or so and we shall attempt to remove the 'Muerto en el Agua' from ECMdP and make her truly Móvil once again.
Later on today we shall look a lot like this, regardless of the outcome:
It's nice to have company for Happy Hour and it's even nicer if one has an occasion to celebrate. Wish us luck.
Update, 1345 hrs: Well, that was easy. We were done in an hour and a half, max. "Done" simply means replacing the battery and adding five gallons of new gas (and a quarter bottle of gas line cleaner) to the nearly empty tank. We checked all the fluid levels and other such stuff, turned the key and ECMdP fired right up. And I mean RIGHT up... there was zero hesitation, no screeching noises, no drama at all... just the sound of a smoothly running V-10. It was like I started her about an hour ago, not four years.
I will never, ever speak poorly of Ford products again. Not once, not even. I mean... ECMdP (which is on a Ford E-450 Super Duty chassis) sat for four years without ever being turned over and then she just fired right up. I AM impressed, not to mention relieved.
So. SN1 and I cleaned up a bit, popped a couple o' beers, and smoked cigars in celebration. All is right with the world.
