They're callin' for some snow squalls tomorrow here.
We're gonna take the truck when we go to the Y just in case.
Honestly, I'm kinda looking forward to fourwheelin' in the snow.
I'd probably hook up a windshield camera and take y'all along.

Kinda' Fun to get outta the house and go do some
Drift Bustin'. No pun intended.
I told the wife today. I got houseitosis so we jumped in
my old 3/4 ton Chevy 4x4 and we made a run to New Castle
about 20 miles away.
I bought this old truck 2 years ago. It's a '96 with 250K
miles on it, lots of rust on the body panels, no tailgate,
But it runs like a top.
We did a little drift bustin' in the country just for fun
after we got a few things at the grocery.
Fun stuff.

Yesterday, photobucket and my Kindle had a spat. My syntax header has been compromised. When trying to link an image to the forum, I get "400 Bad Request".

I have found a way to circumvent this but it takes an additional 5 steps.

Until I figure this out, I may be slower on the draw.

Oh well, could be worse.

Went to start the Corvette to run it a bit and to move it to change a light bulb, dead battery won't start. Hooked up the battery charger and got it going,,,,took it for a bit of run and parked it again, and yes I changed the light bulb! ;)
Next job on the list, check on the Motorhome. Put key in and it won't start and the battery is so dead it won't jump start. Removed the battery and retrieved new one from local parts house, battery changed, got it started but for some reason through all of this I lost the dash radio! :rolleyes: Motorhome checked and there are no transients onboard!
Okay what's next? The radio I'll look at in the spring!

Good morning, Drifters.

Had my 2015 vehicle at the dealership ALL DAY yesterday so they could investigate a specific "check engine" alert. They told me the problem was cleared after the vehicle's software system was updated through 4 revisions. I've owned the vehicle for 13 months. I asked why I wasn't notified that 4 revisions/updates were required to be made to the software running the electronic core of the vehicle. They didn't answer the question; what they told me was that they could use their wireless tablets to access the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system's IP address, thereby determining that my "latest software flash" wasn't, in fact, the latest. In my opinion, what this means is: "Sir, we don't want to notify you by e- or snail mail that all 2015 vehicles of your make/model require frequent software updates or even notify you as the updates become necessary. We'd rather keep you ignorant and force you to pay us to do routine mundane maintenance tasks when you bring your vehicle in to determine that your software is a year outdated." Having said that, this morning - only 14 hours after I retrieved my vehicle from the dealership, the VERY SAME "check engine" alert blazed across my vehicle information system's display screen. After convincing the dealership that they were going to provide me with a rental replacement at no cost, my vehicle sits at the dealership waiting for the technicians to figure out how to fix it by close of business on Monday. I realize this is a trivial matter in a world filled with real misery, but I often wonder how we built the Empire State Building in 13 months.[emoji2]

UPDATE: Dealer advised that a new transmission must be installed. Transmission was ordered yesterday and will be installed by close of business Friday. I'm glad it was covered under warranty.

I hate it when that happens. :(

All in all, the cars today are much better than they were even in 1998.

I still remember the days of 12 month 12,000 mile warranties, and many cars would never be right during that time period. Hopefully yours will be fixed up by next week. Don't worry, be happy.

That reminds me of a fellow I knew in High School. We called him Harold. His name was Keith but he looked like somebody you'd call Harold.
Anyway, since he had a full beard, he was the one that bought all the booze. They never carded him.

Loctite and guns - do they mix? This subject keeps coming up - hence another thread for those who wonder.
