Ahhhh. I love Madison, WI. great people, great food and great friends. My friends from DC, who transplanted to WI a few years back, have been my hosts the past 2 nights. They don’t get a lot of guests being this far away from DC but we are enjoying our time here.
Saturday we drove to Isabella’s birthday party at Bounce U. Everyone had a great time. I refrained from joining in because I am paranoid I’ll find some way to injure myself before I get to Colorado.

There is an artist who puts sculptures out on the ice on Lake Monona.
There are people fishing on the ice every day. Some are fishing for restraunts and some are doing it to put food on the table. If I knew I’d be stuck here I would have hired an outfitter to take me out there. Costs around $150 or so.
Dennis and I went onto State Street where the college is and we bought some needed supplies and I present this photo collage for your amusement:
Clive update:
Got Clive towed last night and I spoke with Ryan and Clint over at Fields Land Rover. Turns out the “Park-Neutral” switch is blown out. I also thought the starter was burned out and they have not determined that. With a Land Rover OEM Starter costing $940 I decided to buy an Aftermarket part from Atlantic British and ship it next day air just in case I need it. Worst case I return it and lose $88 shipping. It’s cost me a total of $298 with shipping. We’ll see. I am 2 days behind schedule but being with good friends makes it bearable and I have internet and getting work done. No worries!
Replacing my Mass Air Flow Filter yesterday…fun!
