They did find that the main problem was a failed sensor for the camshaft. But they replaced the sensor and the car would still not fire up. The last word was that they were going to prime the cylinders with motor oil to try and get compression to be back to normal levels. (The gas going into the cylinders while the engine cranked may have thinned out the oil too much to hold compression). That was the word as of about 3:00 this afternoon. We'll wait and see what develops on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, now that we are mobile, we went grocery shopping at a WalMart Supercenter today. Since it was lunch time (how convenient) we ate at Boston Beer Garden (BBG) in Naples. That restaurant is now on our favorites list.
We signed up today to go to an Ohio Day dinner next Sunday. It's for anyone who lives (or ever lived) in Ohio. They provide chicken and beverage and each couple brings a vegetable, salad or dessert. If you want a more potent drink, it's BYOB.
Tomorrow, I am going to a barbershop gathering here at IBE. They meet every Tuesday at 2:00. I'm looking forward to it. Baritones are often in demand.
Wednesday night, there is a dance from 7:30-10:30, with a live band. We may check that out.
Our neighbors on the right are from Connecticut, and on the left from Cincinnati.
