I have been reading about Dave getting his act together with winter closing in, sooner than later in our case. With that in mind I realized I am way behind schedule and we have had a couple of light snowfalls, so I was concerned about salt on the roads. Friday was cold but dry so I figured this was my opportunity. My storage is now at my cottage so I could kill two birds so to speak. On the way there, I noticed the telltale white dust on some rural roads so I stopped for a drive through carwash at the closest town before arriving at storage, about 13 miles short. I wanted to tuck the car in close to my pontoon boat and being alone, I had to get in and out several times to be sure of the positioning. I have been having some issues with the automatic door lock/unlock function in park. It always locks but sometimes only partially unlocks so I must manually unlock. To cut to the chase, it let me out but wouldn't let me in. The only saving grace was the door was just on the first latch and not closed tight. Here it sat, idling, the other side approx. six inches from the boat, and the other set of keys fifty miles away. The only possibility I could see was hooking the drivers window control to roll the window down. It sounds pretty straightforward except the switch is chrome so it is relatively slippery and requires a fair amount of force. It took over an hour to find the correct instrument which I took as a sign the car was letting me know it wasn't happy with my tardiness.
