Whether is was dumb luck or stubbornness I managed to "fix" the ramp on the van. It was getting dark and just starting to rain by the time I made it outside to bungee it up and tape the plastic on in anticipation of the drive to the repair shop. But first I wanted to as least look at it with a screwdriver in my hand. After all that's what the mechanic had in his hand when he was able to make it close all the way up. I loosened every screw one at a time and then tried to move the rod back in place. The third screw was da charmed one. So at the moment it is working. I'm not taking any bets on how long it stays working!

It was raining really, really hard a little while ago. The wind was pushing the rain at a 45 degree angle. With the van door closed I could happily sit on the porch and enjoy the sound/smell/sight of mama natures' drench.
