2005 Jeep Liberty CRD Ltd with DiGi-CR chip

I went to get the recall F37 and reprogram the PCM/TCM. I made this video to show the new shifting pattern 4 to 5. Now the converter is always ...

And the Winner Is…

(alternately titled: Levi could have mentioned the roll-over earlier).

Which story do you want first? The one where Don & I left our 16 year old son Home Alone for the first time while we went on vacation (his sister was only a few miles away in Newberg) and while we were gone, Levi was involved in a single-car roll-over accident in Washington State that put him in the hospital for evaluation? After evaluation, he drove my pick up home (alone) and didn’t tell anyone until hours later (his sister) and us days later (when we got home). Everyone was OK, we opted not to sue the driver (really: a lawyer called to see if we were going to sue Levi’s friend who was driving because she was an inexperienced driver on a gravel road and no one was seriously injured, just scared). Levi never mentioned the make/model of the car. That was in 2002.

That’s story #1.

Story #2.

I had a long list of cars I wanted to test drive and/or look at this morning. Most of them were on the west side, out in Newberg or Beaverton, some 30+ miles from home. Unfortunately, my partner in life was not feeling so good this morning and he didn’t want to go to the west side to look for cars (it’s a mental block Portlanders have: crossing the Willamette River. If you live on the west side, you never come to the east side and visa-versa). He wanted me to look on the east side.

So I looked up a couple car dealers on this side with cars in the price range & make/style I wanted.

Then Donald decided he was going back to bed.

I headed out the door, disgusted. I got about ten steps out and had this thought (I often have thoughts like this): maybe God just wanted me to go it alone today for some reason. Maybe I should not be so angry with my husband for wimping out on an important moment.

(Side Note: before I left the house, a coworker posted on my Facebook status that I should check out Beaverton Honda because her son worked there and if I mentioned her name, he’d give me a deal.)
