The Pax side is a year old and the driver side is 2 months old. Both have had to be replaced twice, fortunately under warranty. So, I had them checked 3 weeks ago and they tested excellent, like new. That was the day before I changed out the bad starter.

Hadn't had any more problems since I put the new starter in until yesterday. Time will tell, but I really don't have that much hair left, so I do need to find the problem rather quickly.

Jim, I've always been told if one battery goes out on the PSD, you are supposed to change both. Why that is I'm not sure, maybe that has something to do with it!

I hate to admit it, but we do need some rain. The fortune tellers are calling for 30% chance Sunday night and then 40 to 50% chance of showers starting the rest of the week through next Friday.
