basically, I have no idea what is going on!

Hi Steve and Tom,

I also gave thought to the temp thing but that theory doesn't seem to hold. Just this morning I went a totally different route going to work (but still crossing the same railroad bridge with who know what near by) and it did the blank-out thing again. I had gone a different route to up my FE and that way took me about 2 miles longer getting to the bridge so the system should have been warmer than usual. The temp was about 42 deg (probably warmer than the other times it happened). Think I will drive down to see Gary in Jupiter, FL (where it is warm) and see if it happens there
