Looks like that 15 amp fuse for the cigarette lighter was also the one for the clock I thought didn’t work.  Who knew!

A few months ago Toyo decided to bite my finger (I scraped against a sharp corner of the bumper valance disconnecting a tow strap).  It scarred, of course.

So somebody rear-ended my pickup while it was parked. No note, of course. Given my old pickup has a steel rear bumper, all I got was a small dent (on the bumper, the one under the tail light was already there) and the plastic top bit pealed up (first photo).  On the other hand, their flimsy plastic bumper was obliterated.  I found some sizeable pieces laying around (hat for scale).  I think Toyo-chan won.  I’d still like to know who did it, though.  I want my pound of flesh.

So somebody’s hood came half undone driving down the freeway Friday morning.  How embarrassing.

This joke is stupid and I feel stupid for making it.

So my poor pickup was missing an air injection pump (part of an emissions system). She breathes a lot better now when idling and sounds better when revving as well.  Spent the better part of a day running around like mad gathering up all the parts I needed.

Meet Toyo-chan, my little pickup personafied as an anime girl. ...I am such a weeb.

Have a sip of nutritious 10W-30. ((My pickup needs a bit more oil added than your average rig due to bad valve guide seals))
