Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Nothing beats a good hurricane and horizontal rain...

Makes me feel at home.

This starter reminds me of when I re-did the fuel tank on the Nomad... and figured as long as I was there I'd swap out the fuel pump relay for a new one... the old one had been in there for maybe 5 years... Fired it up - drove to meet Rudy for breakfast before the GoodGuys show. Turned it off - had breakfast - came out -- nothing - no pressure - no sound. Jumped the fuel pump and she ran just fine...so the brand new relay was removed and the old one fished from the garbage and re-installed - it's been in there ever since.

I've been watching the golf tourney and it's bad...........enough to cancel the first round and restart today.

Sea's don't look friendly either..........sorry as that's probably screwing up the certification dive.

Always a possibility with electronics.........simplifies the troubleshooting.

In my case it was probably excessive use even though I was trying not to cook it. There were changes to the replacement solenoid. Switch terminal was beefier and brass vs. plated, 2 shims were included and instructions said use them (not optional), and the spring was black oxide coated vs. zinc.

No - she's got two more dives today off the boat... and she'll be a certified fish.

We got two dives in yesterday... so she's finished her skills. The little bay right here isn't bad and has some protection from two reefs. Although yesterdays viz was horrible.

I have never been anywhere that the wind blew 24 hours a day for days! This has blown as hard at night as it has during the day for like 4 days now without ANY change in sound or furry.

Sounds like changes for the better. Maybe they had enough failures that it prompted them to make upgrades. Gotta like that they are proactive in that regard.

Seeing how it is 7 degrees here and clean roads are months away, and add in the mountain of work I will do before I can enjoy my car... it is with immense envy I wish youHappy Motoring!

Glad to hear it didn't kill the diving!

The golf was humorous as the flag sticks looked like they were hooked up with a Marlin most the time. Players were just shaking their heads........at least the ones with a sense of humor.

Garage time is here too! One to two hour windows of opportunity about 5 times a month for the next 3 months is my guess.

I'd guess they were seeing issues..........cause if it ain't broke why fix it?
