Forward the Metro!

In other news, I've put the lie to recent criticisms that my yard is becoming a vehicle junkyard by wiping out the yellow jackets that had created a nest inside the driver's-side mirror of Echo's Geo Metro. This had the perfect yin/yang effect of both taking me one step closer to being able to work on it while also providing me with a perfect excuse not to work on it *today*. If I can get this vehicle working again, I'll have raised the Road-Legal-and-Functional-Index of my home to an impressive 40%, 20% higher than it's current value. The wasp attack I didn't notice was happening until I was several pages into the Chilton's manual also provided a nice symmetry with the recent bee attack on my father.

I think one might have bumped into me, but by opening the door I had created a shield between me and them. They only really came after me when I started spraying them.

Removing the timing belt is necessary to get at the water pump. Will that be annoying? I know having it replaced is generally expensive.
