Re: [VAC] Fixing check valve

Jim, did I strike a nerve there? How interesting you 
should mention the 20 pieces of silver. I do not like the 
big chain stores at all...nor the RV chains either. I 
used to hate SAM and all the mega retailers until 
something crossed my mind....we the buying public are 
responsible for it (ok, maybe NOT you Jim, but the 
general buying public) We are the ones who got too busy, 
wanted to many things from life etc., that we couldn't 
make it to mom/pops before they closed at 6 pm. They 
wanted the same things we did, you know, to be home with 
the family by 6:15...to have dinner by 7:15 and to be 
nestled down for the night in time to watch Mitch Miller 
at 8pm. But times change, we drag children all over hells 
half acres and have them home by 10:00 and wonder why 
they don't do well in school. 

I'm STILL looking for America, but I have decided my 
search will start in my house...I will want less, make do 
with what I have and generally try to "take time to smell 
the flowers". I will be friendly with my neighbors (if I 
ever meet them), children and stray dogs. I WILL NOT get 
road rage, I will not let customer noservice get under my 
skin, and I will not live off credit. The credit I have 
is soon to be paid to nothing, and will not be renewed 
except in dire emergencies. I will buy something on the 
card(s) on occassion to keep them active (another good 
thing about the net!) but I will never again be a slave 
to them or the almighty dollar. 

America can be reborn, here, today, with me. (I may have 
just found my true calling in this folks, so please bear 
with me.)

I want my life back 
I want my country back
And I am throwing down the gauntlet and drawing a line in 
the sand, right here, right now...

So, how am I going to get and restore a third Airstream?
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
