    But I would cry when I had to cut those seats to install an anti-submarine strap slot.

    Moved the GP shell out of the garage, to temporary holding at end of driveway, and put my cabrio cover on it.

    Sorted all my parts, cleaned out the garage, and laid out position for the MaxJax system.

    Cranked Locutus for the first time in a month... battery was dead, because I forgot to put him on the maintainer. Had to jump him. Moved him out on the driveway, got the top up, and put him on the maintainer. Got our two DD's back in the garage, for the first time since March. Wife is happier.

    BTW, I think I figured out why my top didn't work months ago. Had the same condition yesterday. Push top up button, nothing happens. Looks like this is what happens if the battery goes dead while top is down. Cabrio computer resets and loses its mind. Cycled the windows up and down with window switches and the cabrio master window switch, then top worked as it should. Good to know.

    After work I will be taking the Porker to the phone store, and be replacing this iPhone 4S... So if I disappear, I'm just trying to get everything working on the new 6+.

    Love my iPhone 6 Plus. Had it since they first came out. Every other iPhone seems "mini" now.

    I like the "mini" iPhone 6, the plus just seems a little to big for a phone.

    Yep going with the huge iPhone, because I use it more for internet and a camera than anything, but still text quite a bit, and occasionally get a regular call.

    I still have an LP flip phone, it has been through the wash and survived. I used to get a lot of text ads, until I turned off texting. It has bluetooth and sounds real good through the MINI's bluetooth phone.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 that I mostly use for looking up old actors on IMDB when I'm watching Turner Classic Movies. Most of my web surfing is done on my laptop.

    +1 for Marzo. IMO he's one of the best MINI Techs in the country.
