grr told my sister NOT to buy a new computer (she spent $350) because she is having problems with her car. What does she do? yes buys a new computer and then her car died going down the highway. HELLLOOOO. Cant figure out whats wrong with it other than the battery is undersized (untrained employees at walmart told her that was the right battery and it wasnt even close to being the right battery) and the alternator is putting out 14.6 volts. Told her to also take the battery to autozone to get it tested and she didnt even do that. Grrrr.

So Doug paid for Sunshine's haircut, and Ofblong the alternator output is about right, it's probably the battery not having enough amp-hours to properly run the electrics on it.

Wow, every time that I feel like we are having great weather some of the left-coasters have to show me how good it can really be. I took the camera on my ride but all I saw was a lot of brown.......and solid white at the higher elevations. Nice pics Doc. Hard to believe that you guys held the winter olympics last week!

Ha! I wish someone would pay for my haircuts but unfortunately I have to put in 40 hours a week to afford such luxuries. :afro:
