So, there's this spare part I've had lying around the house for years -
a blower motor resistor or somesuch, that tends to die on the 2001 Daks.
 The truck is on the third, but it's been doing fine for years now.

But!  We're about to go on a looong road trip across one of the hottest
landscapes in the world.  So I want to have that little part along, in
case Murphy's watching (having it will guarantee everything will remain
working).

I've come across the thing any number of times when going through stuff
or looking for something else.

Now, I'm looking for *it*.  And I cannot find it *anywhere*.

And now since I can't find it, the resistor currently in the truck is
guaranteed to fail somewheres around the town that commonly has temps
from 113-120f.

Argh.

I wish we could replace memory when it gets bad, like I can with my
computer.

Where!  Is!  It??????

You won't get baked if it goes out. When they go bad the fan will usually
still work on the high setting.

Hopefully.  First time, that's what happened.  Second time, it started
out that way, but failed altogether before I could get the new part.
Fortunately, it was England :)

I understand what your saying perfectly . . .if I remember correctly.

I've found that as I grow older, in computer terms, I have to write to the hard
drive more often due to faulty memory..
