    i woke up today and felt the same meaninglessness as I do everyday. Nothing is of any value, the universe is indifferent, and nothing we do matters. However I am going to go eat some chilli pretty soon which is pretty tops.

    Just remember that real chili doesn't have beans

    Even in Texas, chili con carne y frijoles is popular!

    As Tom said in post 10 you should get one of the inexpensive ebay scanners with bluetooth that works with a free app on your cell phone. If you don't want to wait then nearly all of the auto parts stores will scan your OBD codes for free.

    OBD stands for On Board Diagnostics. Look it up on Wikipedia for a full explanation. Your truck periodically tests systems in the engine, brakes, emission controls, etc. and if something isn't 100% will write an error code in its computer. Many of these require very simple fixes.

    For example my 2012 Jeep "threw a code" a year after I bought it new. The code was for a slight leak in the fuel vapor recovery system. I removed the gas cap, cleaned the gasket and sealing surface, then reinstalled the cap. The code could not be erased at that time because as far as the computer knew, the cap was still leaking vapor. But after driving the car again it retested itself then "cleared the code".

    Some of the more expensive cars go overboard with these self-tests, well past the GovCo mandated requirements. For example certain Mercedes models test the electrical resistance in wiring circuits, including the trunk light. This is a big money maker for Mercedes dealerships.

Then as I walked around a horse inside its stable and I cut the side of my stomach on a nail head that was sticking out just enough to cut at least a three inch gash in my side and also ruin my shirt. And when I got back to my dorm the fire alarms were going off and so I couldn't enter the building to change clothes and clean up my cut. The one positive thing so far is that my mid term grades came out this morning and all was good on that front.
    If it will make you feel better I had a much worse day than you exactly a year ago today. That morning my niece, who is who was about your age, died unexpectedly from heart failure. To add insult to injury today is also my birthday and anniversary. Needless to say my wife and I don't feel much like celebrating.

    By the way Norah make sure your tetnis shot is up to date. Being around horses means your at high risk.

    BTW, I generally ignore those lights on my vehicles because I find they are usually a scam to get you into the service portion of the dealership. Unless something is falling off, or smoking badly I don't take my car in, and never to the dealer.
    He's nuts Norah! That could cost you a lot of money. Take your vehicle to the nearest auto parts store and have them use their meter to check the computer code. It might be something minor and it might be something small that needs taken care off that could lead to serious repairs. My check engine light came on last summer and I only needed to change the thermostat but it could have been the water pump.

    you should be a lot more afraid of tetnis. If you haven't had a tetnis shot in two years you need one. Anyone working around horses who doesn't is playing with fire.
