Happy New Year and nice to hear from you. Yes Phil did retire, I'm not sure on how good of terms he left because the last time I saw him a few years ago he didn't seem very happy. Anyway, I'm hoping to retire myself at the end of 2015. I still "live" in Chicago but only every other weekend. I work full time in Washington DC and the travel is really getting old.
The E430 is starting to show it's age (so am I) and has been passed on to our son who is at the Univ of Wyoming. We have been messing with the battery issue since the summer. But I think we might have it licked. After two days it's holding at 12.60 volts.
I see you have a new Outback. I'm seriously considering one as a retirement present to myself. I'm very familiar with the new Forester but I think the Outback suits us better.
Take care - Michael
