Steve, I will be working in Honolulu that weekend.
But I'm sure I'll be at a PCA event in the near future.

Steve, That such good news man! Glad to read this! Keep working that stroke hand and you'll hopefully get some of the "reflex" back in it... Some motivation to stick with rehab, No?

Good on YA!

Mike

Great news....and yes the UMW flash plugs into OBD2 port, about the size of a deck of cards...watch some leds flash, follow directions...easy to change files, takes about a minute.

I haven't been on here long, but it's good that you're making progress and playing well with the cards you've been dealt. I too have suffered a physical disability (blind in left eye since I was 18) and it hasn't been easy, but it definitely feels good at the end of every day to say "I made it."
