Bruce,
I think I see where you are going wrong...
How the heck you get from 17000 to 12000 @ 210 kts only 14 miles from the runway to begin with and get lined up like that is beyond me.
You must have had maybe two or three too many cherries before flight! :o
You missed the instructions of the ATC boy when he said Turn right to heading 150, and descend to 12,000'.
That gives you a lot of time to get to 12,000'.
Here are a few traps in this mission. The heading change is a very big one and if you crank in the heading select from the 150 degrees to the 350 degree heading too fast the plane will actually try to turn left instead right since the turn is larger than 180 degrees. The next trap is the windshear which the computer slips in somewhere inside the middle marker. It is not always the same shear - that makes it fun!
Here is a look just inside the outer marker.
