The Autec Shine Express is around where the vacuums are and these are some pictures of Scott spraying my car.  The buffering from the Shine Express did a unbelievable job it looked and felt like it was hand waxed.

Here is a picture of a car entering the tunnel.  Note the mirror.

Rowe power problem

IMG_7264.JPGIMG_7271.JPGIMG_7273.JPGIMG_7284.JPG

I have been talking to Rowe about fixing my Rowe BC-200 changer problems.  Tom emailed me about testing my power supply and seemed to think that the changers problems where caused by the power supply.  He said that the power supply is suppose to output 14.4 volts on pin 1 (purple wire) on the 13 pin connector (the name is J2020 or P202).  I tested 3 power supply today and all were different.

#1 was 14.7 to 14.8 volts,  #2 was 12.0 volts,  #3 was 14.6 to 14.7 volts

I am not really sure if the 14.6 is within the correct range but all 3 are not 14.4, I will let you know the outcome.  Also Tom informed my that Rowe has an exchange program for their power supplies, for $105 they will exchange out your power supply with a working power supply.  This is really a great service but I really hope I do not have to use it.

RaceWay had a scary Mothra today

IMG_7262.JPGIMG_7263.JPG

I needed gas today and while I grabbed for the gas dispenser I noticed this black Mothra.  It was kind of scary and caught me off guard.  Why is this Mothra all black and why did it not move?  These are the important questions I pondered today.

Kangaroos for Obama?

IMG_7249.JPGIMG_7252.JPGIMG_7246.JPGIMG_7247.JPG

(First picture) What do kangaroos have to do with Obama?  I also don’t understand the “Catch The Obama Wave” meaning?  Maybe I should have asked Hezekiah and Sara Anna but they were closed.
