Busy day today. My pickup is okay, it always was. That "service vehicle soon" light is something that apparently finally decided to stay lit because of a sensor in my gas tank that has been on the fritz for years. Sometimes I get a "low fuel" readout on the message panel, and this little check engine light came on about 2 months ago. Six weeks ago I took the truck in for it's 100,000 mile checkup, but this light was still on. For $45 today they diagnosed the problem as coming from that gas tank censor. Since I knew it was an expensive repair I've never planned to have it fixed (~$550). So they turned off that sensor and now the light is off. Good thing, or I'd never know if something else was needing attention.

I also replaced the windshield--what a difference! I drove into the sunset for a while this evening and it was so much better on my eyes, without that horrible glare! The glass was intact and there weren't too many big chips or cracks, but it was pitted from time. I have to wait a couple of days before I can wash the truck and I have to leave a side window open to equalize pressure since there is an adhesive that has to set, but once I clean the inside and out it will feel as good as new!

I also was able to cross several other items off of a To-Do list I created yesterday. I still must move some stuff and pick up around the house, that's for this weekend. A funeral came up for tomorrow, so I'll try to run a couple of errands coming and going to make that time a little more efficient.
