Andy,
I am going to try to reinstall the engine/trans unit this weekend (the
weekend for me is Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed), and since it is a delicate
operation, I have decided on a light beer as refreshment.
Harp. A delicate, sensitive, yet manly brew. And made in the land of
poetry, music, and magic. (OK, and a little hobby-fighting....another story
entirely, and clearly another Tory plot against the gentle Irish)
Perhaps, you are right; a selection of preferred beers matched to the type
of work facing you....it bears further thought (and elbow exercise)!
Will let you know how it goes!
Regards,
Ray
