\section{Work Log}
Just a quick note here.

\vspace{0.2in}
I awoke one morning to find my car would not shift beyond first gear, and that the MPH gauge had failed. I smelt something burning. Upon opening the hood I found a bunny (alive) inside. I was able to coerce him to leave, and then repaired the two wires he chewed up.

Car was back in working condition.

\section{Additional Details}
The bunny had chewed up two of the wires. What happened, is that two sense wires to the transmission had failed, and as a result, the car was unable to control the transmission. A mechanic later implied that animals chewing wires was not uncommon. I was even fortunate enough to run into a bunny stuck in the car. Perhaps I caught him in the act.

Since the wires were broken, it was simply an issue of having a portable soldering iron, and some solder. I brought the iron down to my car, adding some additional wire on, and soldered both ends. A trivial job for an electronics-wise fellow.

Soldering near the engine was a little scary, but I didn't leave anything open. Get in and get out.
