I took the battery out. That wasn't on my list, though.
In the process of attaching proper terminal leads for my Battery Minder (I didn't feel good about the clamps), I dropped a nut that went under the battery tray. Besides the fact that I needed this nut to tighten the negative battery cable, I didn't want to just replace it with a new one and leave the old one rattling around in the battery compartment. Let me just say, what a pain in the *** it is to get the battery out of this car! Put it all back together, reprogrammed all my settings in the car, and came in to check the forum to get my windows to work properly. Topped off the tank and added some Stabil, then I went for a drive. Backed it into the driveway to see if having the back of the car facing the garage door would help alleviate the problem of the cover lifting during windy conditions. Hooked up the Battery Minder and put on the cover. That project took 2 hours longer than it was supposed to. Having a drink. Whew.

I re-applied the car cover.
It doesn't stay on for sh*t in gusty conditions. For some unexplicable reason, my windows were down. I had a freakin' heart attack!

This morning I left the house around 9AM, a nice 51*F, clear, sunny and still a bit wet from days of rain. Although the road conditions were not perfect for all out driving, it was not bad for spirited mountain fun either. In all my life the drive I took has never been totally devoid of cars and bicyclists, until today. After twenty minutes I met another car, who knew what he was doing. He pulled off after 5 minutes and left the coastal then country road wide open.
When I arrived at my destination, a bakery 45 minutes from home, in a town of 200, far from the beaten path, I ordered 5 loaves of bread as they came from the oven. Hopped in the car and raced home. Except for the Volvo which needed passing, the handful of cars I encountered used the first pull out they found. What a great drive home too, the smell of freshly baked bread, coupled with my new Hotchkis sways made for a great first day off. The last time I made this drive in a spirited way I went into limp mode. With the oil cooler I never hit 220* albeit 8* cooler ambient temp. I'm giving blood at 4PM just for grins later, so I've got another drive yet today.

It was perfect. I am sorry for your wait. Thanks for the nod.
