Vanagon popped a hose yesterday - fuel return from the injectors. Pretty spectacular smoke screen until I pulled into Firehouse No.5 Cafe 2 miles north of Corvallis on 99W.
If I blocked the hose - the recommended state per Phil at AAMCO in Corvallis who rebuilt the head last time, the next one in the chain would pop off! So I had it towed to Phil's for more thorough diagnostics.
Seems the hoses were expanding, and sturdier ones hold up fine. He also checked into the power steering issue, and found the reservoir empty, and leaking... looking for a replacement one, now.

remarkable now
Driving home with a crowd of fellow ILP'ers from our Landmark Education weekend in Seattle, the homework assignment was - what is your promise to the world?
A question that I had no answer for, and while I really like Kyle's answer 'Now!', I really don't want to just copy it. I am too ingenious and vain to do that, and, somewhat to my surprise, in the final 90 miles I got my answer.
While I could go on and on about how insightful I am, and clever I think I am, and the torturous and winding road with all the blind alleys and dead ends with promises that don't fulfill who I am, I won't. Because it doesn't match my promise.
So here it is.
Remarkable now!
How you will know when I am being 'Remarkable Now' is that you will get one of the 4 r's (!?) to any request you make - the result, or a re-negotiation, or a response when the result can be relied upon, or a refusal. If not in person, this will happen within 3 hours during the day, or, if after 9pm, by 10 the next morning.
If I know I am scheduled to be occupied such that I can not meet this promise, I will communicate out for that amount of time, before I go into silent running. My first such communicate out is for every Sunday morning until 2pm.
