Hi list friends.

I have not seen many posts lately.  Even posts I’ve sent have not shown ump in my in box or junk. 

I suspect we are again seeing a problem where many posts are going missing.

Dan, post your questions no matter when.  I always like reading about ways to solve vanagon issues.

Now, 

Lets hear it, who got some Vanagon related or vanagon life related Christmas presents?

I actually didn’t get any this year.  The rule around hear is I can’t get anything for my vanagon until it is home.  As this is now heading into month 11 I’m hurting.

But, that won’t stop me from making a wish list.

So what cool items arrived for Christmas?

Best
