Finally got my door latch problem fixed before I took a nap this afternoon. Nice to be able to open and CLOSE the door. Mama gets a bit excited when the thing pops open when driving down the highway...... I told her that was a good reason to wear her seatbelt....... She found that less funny than I did......
Morning all.

Honestly I dont know.. I had the juice backdown set at 1250. I never heard the warning go off. I think what happened was that when the T/C locked up into overdrive when I passed her is what killed the turbo. I had my wastegate clamped and when I lock up I almost always bark the turbo

Top. (laugh) you all must know Heidi pretty well.....
she's tired but got her out on the bike today. 81 degrees. April 2nd. saving some hospital charges but have to take her back Sun night. she's looking forward to watching our neighbor's 92 yr old mother and aunt hide about 300 Easter eggs for the grankids to find. coins in the eggs, not candy.
yesterday, they froze her cereal breakfast for April fool's day. back in the eighties, she used to transport state prisoners to the hospital for treatment.
They remember her. She was medicated pretty good and they started to feel bad when she didn't understand why she couldn't eat. When they came to remove the frozen bowl, she smiled at them and laughed. first time I have ever seen that joke.
