James, so basically you've pinned it down to a short in the harness, is that correct? Sucks its turned into such a nightmare!

Yeah, there was a bad module in the car, but the harness had an intermittent short, causing different readings and making the whole process a huge headache while tracking it down...

I have been under the weather since last week, and haven't even had the time or energy to go start putting the car back together yet... Had to tear out half the dash and ignition to get at all the body modules... hopefully I will be up to getting it all back together next week when the harness is here...

Everything alright with you? New job treating you decent?

Oh bummer.. Ok, well at least it sounds like you've got it figured out...
And yeah, work is good. Been working long hours, which is nice for the money, but tiring! I may have somewhere to move soon, just gotta go meet with the homeowner, and see the place. Still on the fence about it though, so we'll see...

I would like to get out there sometime soon. I will probably be in Vacaville on Sun rock climbing with a buddy, so if youre around, maybe we'll swing down there and grab a beer?

Well, no progress to report... Shop manager had no time to work on my car, as he had staff out sick all last week and had to work on paying customers cars, and today, come to discover, vandals had broken into his storage yard and broken into all the cars... Seriously lucky that my car has been inside his shop during this whole ordeal...

So, on the bright side, since I have all this free time, my first batch of holiday brew (cranberry liqueur) turned out wonderful, and I am bottling it tonight for gifts... After some serious quality control, that is...

Tomorrow night is the first taste test of my pomegranate liqueur... Wish me luck!

No booze for you (for a couple more years...), but there is always a good supply of medicinal herbal pain reliever here...

I wouldn't let you drive after either, so it's your choice... You're an adult, now...
