Dave,

Come to the residential treatment program at the Stock Gauge Anti-Defamation League. It's covered by most insurance plans. Think of it as a relaxing expense-paid vacation. Sure, it's surrounded by barbed-wire and other security measures, but the guards will typically fire a warning shot long before you reach the minefields. And they only release the dogs as a last resort.

I think you will enjoy the arts and crafts program most of all. We take gauges and put numbers on them. Then we paint over the numbers and compare how the gauges read. Most graduates regard this as the most rewarding part of the re-education program.

Karl, you forgot to mention the free beer and dancing girls. We've never had a client try for the mine fields yet!

A simple cleaning of my temp sender connection improved the reading on my temp guage. The oil pressure sender was a tad loose. I took a short piece of copper house wire and pounded it flat. You can pound it as flat as you need to. Then formed it into a sleeve. Made the sleeve slightly conical so it would sit on the sender connection about half way. Then placed the connector over it and pushed it on. Took out all the slop. A good clean connection really helps!
