    You ain't kidding! Part of the problem was I'd never driven a 13 speed before so I was trying to downshift from 7low to 6 high and over revved because I was used to the splits being 500 rpm apart... well I couldn't get it in, all the while I was fully loaded and just coasting in neutral .. Now starting to gain speed and panic. So I did what I knew to do, and worked the brake pedal and revved until I can find the right gear to put it in... felt like such a #### rookie :biggrin_25523:

    Sitting here entering my March loads since I am a little behind. No bad weather just chilly. Power went out. Luckily I live one block over from the hospital and we are on their power grid so it comes back on usually within 30 minutes. One of the only perks I have living here in town.

    We are woke. Kind of. Might go unwoke for another hour.

    Reluctant to go for coffee because this Peelot has to be the nastiest, most disgusting place in the continental United States.

    Can't see what you're stepping in. Wind is ice cold too. Probably from global warming.

    Does California lead the way?

    All the way sir.

    Some day archeologists are going to find this place and go," What do you think it was?"

    And the rest will go," Not sure. But it was F nasty whatever it was."
