Journal FortKnox's Journal: Have a Holly Hanumadan Kwanzmas! 7
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Was at my family for the weekend beforehand, and wife's family was at our house for the week.
I didn't kill any relatives (wife's side... long story).
I sold my Jeep today (was trying to sell it since I got the minivan). Bad news, though, is that the minivan "Check Engine" light came on. Hopefully there's enough 'jeep money' after the minivan repairs to upgrade my computer (even if there isn't, I got plenty of 'got undercut on my second job' money to upgrade my computer).
For you firsttime fathers (glh, dayton, etc...) next Christmas, a must would be batteries (I think I hit 20-AA batteries installed during 'Christmas at my house').
Anywho, its been exciting, fun, frustrating, but mostly relaxing holiday in my household. Hope everything is going good for you folks.

Without the click, the tank isn't sealed. Without the seal, suction doesn't build up. Without suction, but a dropping liquid level, the computer is programmed to light up an alarm, as the tank must be punctured (or something).
Who knew? I didn't - but then I always fully tighten the cap because the manual told me to do so.... ;-)

I really wish "check engine" lights were actual alphanumeric displays that told you WHY the computer thought there was a problem. "greater than x miles since last oil change" is a much different situation than "low oil pressure".

Of course the digital camera the wife and I got for Christmas uses batteries like crazy! Good thing we also invested in a Maha 3-hour charger and 4 sets of NiMH batteries.
