"Humpty Dumpty Heart" by Hank Thompson

Can all the kings horses and all the kings men ever put CeCe back together again?
I finished taking apart the dashboard today.  It was a kind of a nightmare, at least with the way my hands are with the MS.  This video was certainly a help, but it sounded much easier in the video than it was for me.  I had a terrible time removing the switch plate.  The right end came out pretty easily but the left was stuck good!  I finally shoved some metal putty knives between the switch plate and the padded dashboard that surrounds it and it finally came out.  But removing the nuts behind the dashboard, that held that padded piece, was horrific!  Certainly some of that could be attributed to the dysfunction of my hands from the MS.

This is the video on YouTube that shows how to take the dash apart:

I very much remember my dad playing this song when I was a kid.  We thought it was fun with the Humpty Dumpty reference!

These videos all sound like different versions to me.  The second one sounds closest to the one I remember, except it sounds like it has that fake echo they used to simulate stereo in places.

I forgot to say yesterday that the Disk Brake Conversion kit arrived (in three very heavy boxes!).  I even dropped the one box.  Not very far, so hopefully it wasn't damaged.
