[s-cars] Washer problem solved, new life form found

[Dave Burig]

I saw one of these objects prepared in the 2001 Bocuse d'Or.  It was first
soaked in goat urine for 2 days before being trodden upon 40 times by an
Alsasian virgin.  After being sautéed in a mirepoix and boiled in a very
subtle yet naughty Tokay Pinot Gris with a bouquet garni, it was sliced on
the bias and served over a bed of blanched baby leeks and sweetbreads as an
accompaniment to the Norwegian Saithe and Scallops.  The presentation was
stunning and the chef was awarded the prestigious Trophee Bocuse.
Several months later, however, the winning chef committed suicide with a
boning knife in the midst of a culinary scandal and disgrace to his
Homeland, having been stripped of the title and the trophy when it was
proven that there are no virgins in the Alsace!

Thanks for your responses to my slowly leaking wash reservoir.  It was
resolved with new clamps on the headlight wash circuit.  I replaced all 6 >
2 at cylinders, 3 at T, 1 at pump.

I found a strange creature in my reservoir.  Had tank sitting full on
kitchen counter for 24 hrs looking for leaks.  Everything looked fine from a
number of angles, etc.  Late that night I happened to use a flashlight to
check for leaks one last time and didn't bother to turn on the lights.
Noticed a shadow in the tank when I shined the light through it.

Discovered a suspended mass of stuff, much like a jellyfish in appearance,
about the size of a lime and light tan in color.  Yuck!  Emptied it out and
cleaned the interior well. No calls were placed to CDC or the food channel.
What was THAT??

So much for the reassuring filler neck filter screen.  Had I run my washers
with very low fluid I might have clogged my system with 'it'.
