Sheesh

As I mentioned Friday, before pulling out of Leasburg Dam State Park that morning I checked the oil then closed the hood. It didn't latch. Couldn't get it to latch. The cross bar in the hood that the latch grabs went missing.

Well, not really. I took a good look at it this morning and couldn't see where a cross bar would have been attached. It turns out nothing is missing - the latch is meant to grab the rolled edge of the hole in the hood liner. All it needed was some oil on the mechanism. Sheesh indeed!
