    I took the Land Yacht in for an oil change and they found a few problems. The biggest is the water pump, I've had water pumps fail catastrophically in the past and I don't want a repeat of that. The valley plate leak isn't real bad, but I might as well have it done when they change the water pump. I'll probably also have them replace the shocks. Grand total around $4,000. After all, it's only money. The appointment is scheduled for next Wednesday at a local Toyota specialist.

    One of the shocks. After all, if you've seen one bad shock, you've seen them all.

    The shop called a little while ago, the radiator's also beginning to seep. Oh well, it's only money, I'd have probably wasted it on food anyway.
