I’ve been tagged

I have been tagged by Gregg with a meme! (my first one, thanks Gregg!) The rules of this meme are as follows:

  1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
  2. Find page 123
  3. Find the first 5 sentences
  4. Post the next 3 sentences
  5. Tag 5 people

All the other books I’ve seen in this meme have been religious in nature. Well, I realize I am not going to229235600×40096016cover.jpg appear interested in spiritual things, but the nearest book to me right now happens to be the Haynes Repair Manual for VW Rabbit, Golf, Jetta, Scirocco, and Pick-up, 1975 thru 1992 all gasoline models!

Page 123 is in the chapter on fuel and exhaust systems, and is describing the Solex 34 carburator overhaul which thankfully I don’t have to get familiar with (Alison’s has fuel injection). Here are the three sentences:

“Lift the top away (see illustration 11.4a). Be careful not to damage the gasket. The float may be removed from the float chamber (see illustration 11.4b) and checked for leaks.”

I suppose if I meditated on this passage long enough, I could come up with a profound spiritual application (complete with illustrations!).

Now I’m going to tag:
