Back under the hood, back to podcasting sort of
Yesterday my new MAF sensor showed up so I decided to put it in last night. I ran into various issues along the way. Some of them were rather funny. If you have 10 or so minutes to spend, take a look. While I was in the middle of it my timer buddy John showed up to pick up some stuff he needed. It’s always a unique thing when we meet up as it is rare to be able to talk timing with someone else that knows the pain associated with it.
After replacing the MAF sensor I cleared the check engine light. I took the truck to work today so I can verify the CEL is not going to come back on. This morning on my first turn of the key I got a click followed by the truck starting normally, making me think I STILL have an issue with the battery cables. I may just grab a new positive and negative cable and replace them. The cables are inexpensive and the labor does not seem too bad, famous last words. This recent rash of repairs will make parting with the old Tacoma a little less difficult.
This weekend I have A LOT of wish list items. Tomorrow morning I am going to try to get Ali migrated over to my accountants old computer. I would like to use my 100 foot fiberglass snake to get the security DVR cables routed from the attic to their mounting points on the perimeter of the house and I may just wind up swapping out the battery cables on the Tacoma. A quick YouTube search showed no such how to video exists so that means it is fertile ground for me to make one. We also have a Tarpons game to attend Sunday evening so I have a feeling this weekend will fly by just as most do.
Yesterday I started the ball rolling in rebooting my podcast on Itunes, something I last toyed with back in 2009. (search duf on itunes) When I did it back then I had the bright idea that reading blog entries would translate into quality podcasts. It didn’t. This time I am going to convert my off the cuff vlog videos into podcasts. I think that may work better. Don’t think I am under any delusion that I am some sort of talented entertainer or skillful speaker. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is just another extension of me seeing what works and doesn’t work. For instance if you told me a few years ago that amateur car repair and head shaving videos would be among the most popular on my channel I would have told you you were nuts. So anyway, if the podcast gets the official Itunes approval I will post the feed information here.
