Temperature Guages

["Brian A.Tink" <batink@domain.elided>]

That is not quite correct, in my case I worry little about temp as I know
that all is well on this front, my squint was caused by watching the oil
pressure guage until I ripped that blasted oil cooler out the other day.

now I can spend more time watching the scenery and get rid of the squint.

keep staggering   brian
