I made it home from DGRRX safely but...

I actually had great luck, my car left in much better shape then when I headed to the dragon in the first place.

The 12+ hour drive revitalized my flat Odyssey battery. When I left the starter wouldn't turn at all (even after charging for ~4 hours), and when running if I put on the brakes the radio would shut off. By the time I made it to NC the battery works like new, which I thought was impossible for a dry cell.

Also on the drive down my boost pattern was 10-0-0, Dale was able to replace a faulty check valve on the spot for me and I had perfect working twins the rest of the trip. Hurray!
