Subject:	SCOUG-Help: The purpose of SCOUG meetings

Content Type: text/plain

The purpose of SCOUG meetings is to make sure your car works.

I print the Next Meeting web pages so I have something to
refer to. I grab the checkbook so I can pay my annual dues.
I bring along the new EEM 2006 directory to give to Steve
Carter. I get in the truck and turn the switch -- click. No
vroom. I turn it some more. Click click click. No vroom.
Clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick. No
vroom. #@!&*#@. Kick the firewall hard. Click. Vroom.
What the?

So I drive over to the mechanic and pull into an empty bay. I
get out and tell him it wouldn't start. He gets in and tries
it. Click. No vroom.

One new starter and $220 later, I've missed the SCOUG meeting.

This is the third meeting in twelve months I've missed due to
car trouble. And the stupid thing has never failed on any
other day. Three SCOUG Saturdays have yielded a new starter,
a new clutch and a new fan belt.

So I have a suggestion. I think we should have SCOUG meetings
_every_ Saturday. A few weeks of that and my truck will be
in mint condition.
