Hey Everyone!

Thought I would update you on our trip to Minden, Germany this last weekend to meet up with Gero and the Gallier bunch for the OWL-Gallier Springfest 2007!

It was an enjoyable get together despite the language barrier. Plenty of folks spoke enough English to communicate. And Gero, Karin and many others were very hospitable to Stacey and I!!

About a half hour shy of Minden the CEL came on and the car went into "Limp Home" mode. We stopped at an Esso and I threw the OBDII reader on and found there was an issue with the #2 cylinder. After resetting the error, the car ran fine. We arrived to Gero's about 3:30 pm after an otherwise enjoyable 4 hour trip. Then Gero took me to the local MB dealer to see what the deal was with my CEL. Anyway, that’s another story that’s in AskDan.

There were only 9 of us for Friday night and we went to a Comedy Show at the hotel. Didn’t really understand a lot of it, but it was fun interacting with the other folks, and of course the beer was flowing…LOL.
