I came in last night a defeated man again.  I did all I could do, except
replace the MC or have it sleeved.  So I prayed about what to do and I
still had no idea what I was going to do this morning except bleed it
again.

I was armed with a mighty vac purchased at autozone (which by the
way is half the price of VB).  I pressed on the brakes to see if the
reservoir level rose and the brakes did NOT lose pressure!  The seals
seated overnight is all I can think.  I took her for a drive and everything
feels great.  What a glorious day for a ride.  65 degrees and sunny with
a slight breeze.

Some might think it was elves, expelled gremlins, luck, chance or a
passer by that was concerned about my car.  But I know it was prayer.

Two months without the car and now I have her back.  A great big
YAHOOOO!

Thanks for the help and concern.  I can't say it was all worth it, but I'm
sure I'll think so pretty soon.  

Kevin
