This morning I tried out the wireless ignition starter and it fired right up with no problems. A morning like this one would have definitely pissed me off before as I would be sitting there waiting every 10 minutes to get that car going. I’d say it’s fixed!

It works!!!
I got my Saturn Ion 2004 back from the car audio installation shop this afternoon and tried out the new 3rd party pass/fail remote starter system. So far everything worked as advertised. I haven’t been able to try it out yet in the morning when I’ve had the most problems but this evening it fired up remotely on the first try. I had a problem just yesterday when it would not start the evening after 3 tries, i gave up.
I will give it another test in the morning to see if the extremely cold weather affects this new system.
Damn car…
Ever since the weather change to cold and icy I have been having this problem with my car starting up in the morning. My car is an 2004 Saturn Ion and the problem is well documented on the internet with hundreds if not thousands pissed off owners. The problem occurred over a span of years and there is really no known fix. One suggestion is to use a remote ignition startup that bypasses the factory pass/fail system. I thought I’d give it a try with a local audio installation specialty shop I took the car in at the pre-arranged appointment and now have to leave it over night because they can’t get my car to start at all! What’s up with that!!! I’ll see how it all play out tomorrow supposedly they are going to have it running…
Back to work…
Well after taking off work for about 8 months I signed an offer this morning to start work again. I will be doing the same function as before with the same company 🙂 Life is timing I needed to have a couple of surgeries performed and I had both of them done successfully. This was a tough year but the upcoming year is going to be awesome!
Portraiture photography…
I’m getting into studio photography specifically in portraiture. I took the photo below using a single flash strobe and a large white poster board below to add some fill light to the right and below Lorraine’s face.
Whoops! no updates…
I guess I’ve been lagging on the blog the last entry I had was our trip to the Grand Canyon. Needless to say this was the best ride we have ever taken. We saw so many sites and roadways too many to post up on here. One thing we’ve learned is that long distance riding is definitely in our blood we enjoy our time together rolling the highways.
The photo below was taken during our rides on historical Route 66 this road has been traveled by millions it is called the “Mother of Highways” since it has been around so long. We stopped by the typical tourist places like shops, restaurants. We also checked out a great Navajo gift shop that a great deal of local art of course Lorraine had a good time there.
Day 2 Motorcycle Trip…
We woke up early and had a little breakfast at the Barstow Radisson Hotel.
Day 1 Motorcycle Trip…
We took off early this morning for our first leg to the Grand Canyon. The goal for today’s ride was to be able to make it to Barstow, Ca. before it got dark.
We only made a few stops for gas and lunch on the way down. There is really nothing to say about the ride down as we have gone down highway 99 many times before.
The place below was a local diner we stopped to eat in the town of Chowchilla. There is really nothing to say about this town other than we ate and had a smoke.
The last stop before we arrived in Barstow was Baskersfield. Absolutely nothing to write about during our short rest stop there.
We arrived in Barstow at a perfect time right before other travelers got in for check-in and before the lines grew long at the restaurant. We spent our first night out at the Radisson Hotel and dinner right across the parking lot at the Sizzler’s.
One thing nice about this particular Radisson Hotel they allowed us to park our motorcycle right under the entrance porch. There were a few other bikers there too doing the same thing.
Short ride…
I rode the wing over to a Goldwing speciality shop or at least they used to be one back in the day. The total mileage was approximately 110 miles. That is still nothing for me but at least my strength is improving along with my neck movement. Next week I’ll make a few 200 mile runs somewhere that should get me ready for the ride in the end of the month.
Harley is snoring…
Sometimes when this guy sleeps next to me he rips a huge one. I actually have to leave the room!
