while still at Disneyland i went on line to find a parts store in the area that had an O2 sensor in stock. the web site asked me if it was before the cat converter or after so i went out to the parking lot to check if Chris' info was correct. i crawled under the car and determined he was right just as security showed up. ordered out from under the vehicle, two guards lead me off to their vehicle for questioning while four others set up a perimeter about five cars away from my Bravada and waited for the Anaheim PD to show up with their bomb sniffing dog. the dog went all around my Bravada, not finding any bombs but he did pee on the same tire my dog always does too. they were not amused when i laughed at that so they opened the doors and let the dog run through the vehicle snorting and walking thru all my stuff. it took about two hours of id check and registration checks before we were done.
i got into SF late last night. went by my buddy's shop today 12/24 to see if he could squeeze me in. he said they had a few things to work on first and led me into the shop. turns out they were working on a bottle of wild turkey and eggnog. a good time was had and they did hand me roll of black tape to get me by until next week.
Merry Christmas all, I'll keep you filled in.
