Thought I'd share a weird thing I had on the Journey today. Donna was telling me that there was this "tingling vibrating noise" by the back door. I heard it (about half deaf from race car engine damage) but it didn't bother me, but just curious to know what it was. Can you believe it was my CW screen door closure springs? They set up a residual vibration with the AC running and compressor engaged. Interesting. I can open the door and leave the screen door close and watch the springs vibrate just a little setting up this little noise! Now I know what it is, no more worry! Who would ever guess? Learn somethin' new every single day. Rockin'

P.S. Just to satisfy my engineering buds, guess I could spray some undercoat or something just to change the frequency enough to stop the vibration. Sounds like a job for another day!
