Finding him was fairly easy with the information you shared. The pictures of you did not seem all that special compared to ones in the past. I think it is always a good idea if possible to capture two or more cars on track.
Why is Nancy not your friend on Facebook?

Why is Nancy not my friend? She has a request in, but she's got to many norky family members posting pictures of babies with food on their faces and dull stuff like that. I like pictures of babies, but just give me one good one that I can put in a frame, not 30 crappy shots that you don't even want to spend the 15 cents to print. By not being her friend, I can filter all that stuff out. I just "accepted" a Steff as a new friend today, so now I have nine. He's in the merchant marine, so I want to be one of the first to know if he's ever captured by some Somali pirates. Pretty excluisive club you're in!

With my blown out neck, I couldn't mow out there.
Mow about 1.5 acres of lawn with the little Deere, 13 acres with the tractor.
About 5 acres of woods.

I grew up in a very rural setting (across the road from a farm), and when I was 14 the farmer there asked me if I would mow one of his fields for him for $50.
I jumped at the opportunity, because hey, $50 bought me a new video game for mowing just one field. No problem, right?
Except it took me close to 7 hours to do the whole thing. Even though that was well above minimum wage when you figured it out on an hourly basis beck then, I just didn't like wasting half the day like that.

I'm happy to report, I may have found the issue...
The last couple drives have been brutal, almost ripped the beeper right out at a traffic stop, but I held back
I stopped at Radio Shack last night on the way home and got new tie-in wire connectors, I figured I will break down and redo the wiring
Once I got the dash panel off for the f'ing one millionth time I started to gently pull the wires down so I could get a better look at what I was about to do
That went well so next was to un-velcro the beeper module, and as soon as I touched it the big white wire going to the Tach terminal fell out
Well ok, that could be a problem..... Then as I was fully un-velcroing the module the black ground wire fell out. WTF?
Now with module in hand I backed out the tightening-clamp screws for those two connections, retwisted the wires, reinserted them into the module and used the biggest tiny screwdriver I had to tighten those two wired down as hard as I could
I think the loose tach wire was the source of this year's problems
15-minute drive last night no issues, and a fun detour 30-minute drive to work and still no problems
I hope this is the last time I have to take that panel off this year!!!
