There's a gentleman by the name of Robert Hoover that has been a volkswagen mechanic for a very long time, both ground vehicles and flying ones. Back in the day, before the world wide web, he posted many of his opinions and stories and such in a series of documents that are known as the "sermons of Bob Hoover". He took them down eventually, tried selling them on CD, someone else posted them for free, so he stopped doing that.
But Robert writes in his blog, the sermons are now being sold as an 800 page pdf e-book. I've been reading through them this evening. They're excellent reading, some funny, a few I dis-agree with, many packed with realy information and insight.
One of the stories I'm reading is Robert delivering a car to Washington from south California, and having to refurbish a VW bus to get himself back home. When talking about slowly bringing the brakes up to usable, at the end of a day's entry, he makes the statement "One step at a time. Do it right and you only have to do it once." Which is a statement that applies equally well to living life, I suspect.
If you're interested in Volkswagens or mechanical stuff at all, or in interesting reading, I suggest buying a copy.
Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days; I'm planning on diving in and getting the brake system put back together in my beetle on Saturday.
