After a few scars of the alarm going off I now make it a practice to leave the keys on the bench in garage. Sorry to hear of these mishaps hopefully no water stains on the fabric.

Donald, you overspent on the FOB, request a refund.

Installed blinking smart stop and removed 2.5 pound weight from hatch while I was at it. I also wired an already installed rear fog light to act as 4th brake light.

Which fuse is the steering wheel lock?

also, waiting for 64 degree Monday to wash the Z!

It's a red 10A fuse located between the battery and passenger fender, inside a large black box. It's a quick 5min fix.

Picked up GF at the airport in the Nismo. Then added blinker fluid, greased the muffler bearing, and got the Johnson rod polished.

Whew!!! I thought for a minute that you might have neglected the Johnson Rod polishing. Very, very important.

Not a sweet smell like maple syrup, I hope.

Hopefully I get some great news on Monday, how I can't wait for that day to arrive. Missing my Z aka "Smurf-West Coast Edition"

I passed a Prius in the pouring rain on the way home. It has also been windy knocking stuff out of the trees making a slippery slurry. Mid pass while trying to be smooth, I felt the tires spin and the car slip a little; a micro release of the gas brought it back and I completed the pass with the Prius honking at me.

The road opened up after this and that slurry made for uncomfortable driving. Then out from under the trees, and their slurry, another car was visible and if I hurry up I can perhaps pass it as well. I was already hurrying so all I did was upset the cars back end on the turn before I need to commit and pass.

Shucks, I blew it but to my great fortune the car saw me and pulled over. Visibility in the fog was now limited to less than 200 feet so no more passing. because the weather was so poor no bike or tourists were present, so I still managed a better Saturday drive home than on a dry sunny one.

Wow -- the joys of Marin County driving. I am heading to beautiful Dinuba in the Z this afternoon for some on-site shenanigans at Ruiz Foods tomorrow. Highway 99 does not compare to PCH.
