Yeah, I will fix it, I was just doing "triage"! Suspension, brakes, tires, 
generator, ... down the list of priorities. In town, don't need OD. On the 
highway, having to drop << 30, accell and push lever isn't that annoying.

I will get it working this weekend. Joe, or the PPO, collected a small but 
choice pile of spares, including OD stuff like relays.

I haven't intentionally (...) moved the lever out of OD while moving since 
I can't electrically cut it. Hopefully on Sunday I can really use it!


(YOu can get really fouled up if you don't watch out; pulling up a small 
hill on a local street, cellphone in my hand (aargh), I pulled the wrong 
lever when I went to go 3 - 2. GRIIIND! pushed clutch in, had to drop the 
phone to untangle! Dumb!
