Thank you for the great responses and love the banter! The “flags” seem to be a good source of fun. The “bumper plugs” are a great idea. Will order some today.
I wasted another day after my last post heading back to the dealer to re-bleed the clutch. Half a can later the feel was better, so I drove off with a smile! Well, an hour later or so the same feeling has returned and has not left. I am getting weary of another 2 1/2 hours round trip for no resolution of this new problem but considering the $320 I spent on bleeding the system I want my money’s worth! The Porsche dealer is Sun Motorcars in Harrisburg, I expect them to be up to the task…but I am frustrated with them now. I moved recently and this my first experience with them.
Do I need to take the left rear wheel off to bleed the slave or can I use my Rhino ramps and a motive and my very long arms?
Thanks again. Will post more pictures this week.

If in fact the system was bled correctly and you had 'proper feel' on the clutch pedal and then it went back to 'bad', it is likely that you have a failing slave cylinder/hose/seals and you are getting some air back into the system again.
I would ask the dealer to replace the slave cylinder (which will require a rebleed.....stock brake fluid is cheap) and that should hopefully do it.
