Good to hear Mr. Gilly, are your plans to stay in Baltimore or move to the mid-west?

Clutch Interlock Bypass. Been wanting to do this for a while.

Battery I'm due. It's on a tender, but end of last year was definitely cranking slower. Cars with electric fuel pumps don't bumpstart well.

I'm going to start ticking these off as we are going to have a few more weeks for sure before there's any chance of getting out as again, my road is the old dirt section of pikes peak, but substitute salt for dirt...
For maybe the 1st 5 yrs I had the car it got back on the road in March, then it was April for about 7 years and the past 2 May. I'd like a nice spring again for a change.

That clutch interlock bypass - is that removing the CDV?

I've gotta come up with my to-do list too.

Last time I injured my shoulder. Had to rest it for a bit. Not taking any chances with the season about to start.

A2, bypassing the push clutch to start function that Honda did to USA spec'd cars.
Takes the cold start load off the crank thrust face.

So yesterday, everything was closed over a few flurries. I was out running errands at 10:00 and the roads were passable. Nothing we're not used to.

Today, some schools and such are still closed, but the University is open. Roads are not well plowed at all and very slick. Surprised today is the day they decided to open.

After snowblowing my driveway more in the last 24 hours (2x) than I've done the rest of winter (1x), I'd say we have maybe a little over a foot. Hard to tell with the blowing and drifting.

Few flurries where I live too. And we got some more too by the time the storm ended. Regardless of how capable people are I'm glad they called for only essential personnel on the roads. Some heroes got stuck out there in the snow impeding the plows.

JB - that is cool. My parents cars used to be able to start without the clutch. Now they have a City with a CVT. If you get a chance please document it. I may do it too if it's within my skill range.

22" so far and still coming. Got up at 6:30 to snow blow. Got most of it done, but broke the drive actuator cable. Off to work 1 1/2 hours late. Hope I can find a cable today.
