Ed,

First, dogs and cats.  My last attempt at cat adoption didn't go so well.
An employee of the think tank where I serve on the board, the Memphis Center
For Peace And Prosperity (otherwise known as RP Tracks Bar & Grill) came in
one day about six months ago with a long tale of woe about how her neighbor
had been thrown in jail for an indefinite amount of time and left behind a
cat.  I couldn't take the moaning anymore and, long story short, ended up
taking the cat home.  I grew up with cats and always had one as an adult but
for the last few years.  Fan came home and said "not no, but hell no!".  My
oldest son came home from the MS Gulf a few days later and said, "my mom
would love that cat".  She is a nurse and was in Honduras on a volunteer
mission at the time.  Her cat had died a few weeks earlier.  When she
arrived home, Spencer introduced her to her new cat and it was "love at
first sight".  Happy ending!  When I bought my farm outside of Nashville I
inhereted a gazillion cats with the property, including a new litter that
was living in the old farmhouse.  After several months I was able to find
homes for half-a-gazillion, spayed the rest, and had a sizable herd of
mousers left over.  Unfortunately, I bought cat food in bulk at Sam's Club
and my herd quickly evolved into socialists.  So much for the mousing.

Now to the Ford - I have a 92' Ford conversion van for sale on the coast as
we speak.  There is very little mechanical or electrical difference between
the F-150 and the E-150.  They are virtually identical.  You still didn't
describe the problem.  What is it doing, or not doing?

Brad
