Had trouble starting the thing
Had trouble starting the thing. Dave had told me when I picked it up from servicing that there is likely a fuel problem. Could be bad gas, bad fuel lines, crap in fuel tank or a bad fuel pump. Dave thought it could be a flat spot on the cam that drives the fuel pump. Finally got it started by “priming” the carb.

Windshield wrong!
Safelite came out to replace the cracked windshield, but they brought the wrong one! What they brought was for a 4-door hardtop rather than a 4-door sedan. Now they say they can’t get the proper one! Aaaaarrrrgggh!

Missing wheel covers?
Barry texted and says wheel covers and air cleaner are missing. They might be in the trunk; he didn’t look there. Asked him to check there and he will do so tomorrow.
