Subj: Alcan 2

 JW> If you fill the ding with chip sealer right away the windshield

 BS> This ding started out slightly over 1.5" across, star with 8 points.

That's fairly large, which explains why the windshield cracked so
quickly, before you could attempt the "free" repair.

Another northern thing ...

     Title: Spruce Tip Pickles
Categories: Native, Wild, Pickles, Canadian
  Servings: 12

      3 c  diced cucumber, about
      2    cucumbers
      2 c  spruce tips
  1 1/2 c  cider vinegar
  1 1/2 c  water
    2/3 c  sugar
  2 1/2 TB salt
      1    bay leaf
      2    sprigs of dill
      1 TB celery seed
      1 TB mustard seed
      2    garlic cloves, peeled and
           slightly crushed

Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.
Roughly chop them and toss with a pinch of salt. Set cucumbers in a
colander and drain excess water for 30 minutes.

After the cucumbers have drained, mince them with the spruce tips
using either a knife or food processor. The size of the chopped
pieces will affect the texture of the finished product. For a bit of
crunch leave the pieces larger, for a soft relish mince them really
fine. Place in a medium size bowl and set aside.

Place the rest of the ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil to
until the sugar and salt dissolves. Once dissolved, pour the hot
brine over the cucumber and spruce tip mixture. Cover with a small
plate to keep everything submerged. Allow to cool to room
temperature. Then cover and place in the refrigerator overnight
before serving.
