The car is all better. The Pine Banks Brothers took care of it. It turned out to be a spark plug wire that was damaged/bad and was arcing which caused a cylinder in the rear to misfire. They had to take off the manifold to get to the wires and the spark plugs. Since they’re so hard to get to, Chrysler uses long-lasting platinum spark plugs that are supposed to last 90,000 miles. So my guys changed the plugs while they were in there.

So new plugs and new wires. Plus the labor involved in getting to the wires.

I talked to Liz on the phone a few minutes ago and she sounded exhausted. She’s got to go pick up the kids from camp sometime in the next 30 minutes. They had a good time there yesterday. Gabriel complained that he was bored in between the swimming, the crafts, the games, the toys and the other kids. We weren’t terribly sympathetic to his plight. Ben and Chloe had a wonderful time! They have another week coming up at the end of August, too.

I got the word today that I should plan on going to the SAP Tech-Ed event in San Diego (http://www.sapteched.com/) in October. I’m not all that thrilled about it, though. It would be nice to stay closer to home, but I’m not sure I can get the same education anywhere else. Its kind of a unique opportunity to catch up on SAP’s cutting edge technology.

I should go.
