Thanks. I do own a points file.
You're way ahead of me though. I'm in the midst of winter preparations ( when

Another extra task that I got added to my list:
I opened the engine compartment of the Fiat and found a pail full of pine
cones stuffed into every crevice. It took me about a half of an hour to dig
them out. :(. Hopefully all wires are intact.
