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?

I'll lift a picture or two, but I'm hoping he posts some better shots before I do so.

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!

First time I've done the meadow in more than a year and a half.
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.

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!!!
