Drove the 3 to work in Concord for the first time today.  Officially topdown 
til snowfall.

Driving back, it had moments of running rough.  Then it would smooth out.  Two 
miles out from home, it ran rough to the driveway, then like the old horse I 
grew up with on the farm, ran smooth when it hit the gate to the pasture.

Popped the hood, started checking the ignition cables.  One was hanging loose 
on the spark plug.  The screw on nipple from the spark plug had come completely 
unscrewed, despite that it was still held fast in the spark plug wire.  

It'll probably run with more power when it's got four cylinders, you think?

One and a half minutes from hood pop to hood drop.  Problem banished to Sing 
Sing.  New record!
