February 12, 2025
As stated on Monday, I'm in the homestretch for completing The First of February. I still need to write the cover paragraphs and set up the book page, tasks I'd hoped to have done yesterday.
Yesterday did not go as planned. <deep sigh>
The forecast was for snow to begin early afternoon, which it did. I decided to make a dash down the mountain and support a few local businesses in the nearest small town. It was going well until I tried to start the Charger to drive home. I pushed the Start button. Nothing. Nada.
My handy dandy code reader said P2122. Google said that code was a sensor misalignment. What. The. Fuck??????
Bottom line - the car wouldn't even crank. I called my cousin and he was Dave-on-the-spot in ten minutes with a portable power pack. He hooked it up and BAM! The car started immediately. He followed me to the automotive shop I deal with and they installed a new battery.
And here's the real kicker - the old battery was original equipment. The mechanic was impressed. He told me the old battery still had a Chrysler product sticker on it. Now, I knew the battery was old because I'd never put one in the car, but I didn't think it was original. Wow.
He also said the onboard computer probably kicked out that code to prevent damage to all the electronic gizmos on the car, but he admitted that was just his theory. Bottom line is the car is fine and thanks to my cousin, so am I.
So to summarize, the day did not go as planned. I got the front and end material added to The First of February and that was it. SO...today I must write the cover paragraphs and get the book page set up. I'll need to go back through recent blogs and add the link, too.
I can't go play in the snow until I get those two things accomplished.
