To all of the newbies and wannabes out there that we hear from that
are frightened off by all the posts about problems, *this* is the
normal type of trip report that you don't usually hear about. Since
these forums are mainly about help on problems, you usually hear only
the bad stuff because something broke. This report from Robert is
actually the normal result of good maintenance practices.

FWIW. Thanks for posting this Robert.
