Update: Stuck in Wisconsin
Everyone,

We want to thank all of you for your offerings of advice and assistance. We
were at River States Truck & Trailer until about 4:30 on Saturday. The bottom
line of it was an inability to communicate between their computer and ToWanda's
DDEC I. They tried everything but were unable to get their diagnostic set up to
sort through the MANY historical codes that ToWanda was sending out. So the
technician ultimately reverted to good, old fashioned mechanics. He
systematically went through and evaluated her from a purely mechanical level,
determined that all her systems were "go" and rendered his professional opinion
that driving her would not cause problems.

With that determination we parted company from River States by leaving them a
tidy chunk of folding green and set our headings for our original destination,
Antigo, Wisc. ToWanda ran like a top the entire way, all gauges reading normal
output levels and nary a "blip" in her performance. Our Big Girl did her thing
beautifully and we just IGNORED the "Check Engine" light. We will have her
looked at when we get back to the Twin Cities.

It's Monday morning and we are here at SlideMaster having our new pull-out trays
installed in ToWanda's bays. Really top-notch quality materials and
craftsmanship, as well as truly exceptional customer service. Even though our
appointment was for last Friday afternoon they worked us in to their install
schedule for first thing this morning. We will be headed back to Minneapolis
later this morning as soon as they are done with the install.

Thanks again to everyone for all your support. You made dealing with this
experience a lot less difficult and have provided us with some valuable
information that will ultimately help us in getting ToWanda's historical
diagnositic codes sorted out and on a current level.

YOU ALL ROCK!

Ken & Patti Marsh
ToWanda, 89WB40
Full-timing in March '07 :o)
