Little Foxes

Song of Solomon 2:15 - "Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom."  In God's most poetic and beautiful book about marriage, He tells us to "catch the little foxes,"  the little irritating things in life that get us off track and distract our focus from the task at hand, i.e., building a loving relationship of service to our spouses.

Now, far be it from me to suggest that Topper and our pickup are anything like a marriage partner. On the other hand, there are always some "little foxes," when you buy a used vehicle.  When we purchased our used pickup, we knew that the power mirror switch was faulty. It would drive the mirrors in three of the four necessary directions to properly align them.  Unsatisfactory! A little fox.

This little fox was easily caught.  An order to Amazon for a new switch module. Two days for shipping. Five minutes to pop out the old switch and plug in the new one. Voila! The mirrors work. Now on to the task at hand: the transition from four vehicles to two = downsizing and simplifying our lives.
