Ok. We're out of the condo now. Hank's Fly'n Pig is one of the more acclaimed eating places down here. Same owner as the Thunderbird Cafe. The next pictures are of Steve Hoke and his homemade 5-in-one stringed instrument. And the yurt in the Campfire Grille:
@Whoever I'm thinkin' mebbe it might be a good idea to start up one 'o them new-fangled forums folks talk about. Looks to be a way ta get a head...........
It’s a 2013 Ford Focus. The transmission is weird. I believe you have to have the Ford dealership do it in order to get to the transmission, or anything related to it. But my educated guess is that it was checked after I wrecked the car last March and had to have an engine, an oil pan, and God knows what else replaced, though I’ll ask the mechanic when we get back to Maine.
@Michelle Anderson Beginning in about 2012 I think it was, the Focus "automatic" transmission became an electronically-operated standard gear type transmission, having dual clutches, which are electronically released while shifts are accomplished. Many complaints have been lodged. OTOH, when operating acceptably, they have greater longevity than regular automatics, which is the reason Ford gives for developing the scheme. My nephew told me he had rented one when I mentioned thinking of buying one; he felt I wouldn't like the transmission. Frank
The car had this thing happening where it would shudder (that’s all I can think of to call it) right about where you would shift into second if it were a manual transmission. My mechanic told me about some product to put into where the transmission fluid goes. I couldn’t find the place where the fluid would go. It sure was’t where it should be. Ken went to look, and same thing. I brought it up to the mechanic and he couldn’t find it. He looked it up on the internet and said that the dealership had to do it. He didn’t think a “regular” mechanic was allowed to. The way he explained it to me is that the the transmission is “like automatic transmission laid on top of a standard, clutch and all.” I wasn’t really sure what that meant, but my sense of it was that it was rather the same thing as Windows 95 being Windows laid on top of DOS. But that didn’t word so well, and it sure slowed things down. I’ve had it into the dealership 4 times for the transmission on one recall, and I would not be shocked if this one turns out the same way, I loved my 2002 Focus. Loved this one even more, as it was still as good on gas (36.6 on the freeway), had all sorts of gadgets on the dashboard, and it is roomier. But it spends more time in the dealership than any car I’ve ever had!
She finally put up the videos! These were taken during dinner, and the "other guy," Steve Hoke, is what I was focusing on. I didn't get an entire song because the place was too busy and people kept walking between me and the musicians. But here we go: This first one was abnormally short, and I didn't realize it until right now! The switch from one instrument to another must be hard. I think this one is the mandolin in the beginning, Mustang Sally turned into a sing-along near the end, but because I was singing, I stopped filming. In THIS one, you can really see how the instrument works!
