This morning another snow storm, had to clear the driveway, scrape the windows, get Sweetie into the BlackSwan and drive to the hospital, another attempt at her 4th chemo treatment.
She is convinced she saw 2 wolves in the forest we drive through, I didn’t look, to busy handling on coming traffic.
After I dropped her off , I drove another 15 klms to my 6 months doctors appointment and check up. Fun! The BlackSwan handled the ice and snow on the roads with ease! Kinda neat leading the sander / snowplough along the country road!
It’s not that bad! Even the Timmies by my doctor office isn’t busy like usual!!

Reason: Housekeeping
Designed and 3D printed a phone holster with a USB cable so I can just slot my phone in and hook up to the stereo's Android Auto without too much fiddling. I'll run the cable behind the console later, I bought a second head unit that I'll be violating the warranty on to add a rear USB port and hide all the dangly bits.
I like that holder. You can also tell you're from my area with the salt residue on the side panel, lol. I gotta get out there and clean mine out - haven't done it all winter - but it's snowing again today.

Oh, yeah- my panel needs a good detailing. There is evidence of past sunroof leaks (most notably, a receipt for cleaning the sunroof drains)
I'll be pulling the interior out for cleaning and inspection this summer
After a hiatus my P0442 (EVAP System Small Leak Detected) is back. 😕
So I changed the oil yesterday. It didn’t work. (joke)
No big deal but cleared it as usual to make the RS work and the CEL useful.
It took a month or two after replacing the vent valve to come back. It had been taking just a week or two.
Since the gas cap & both vent & purge solenoid valve have been replaced, and a smoke test by a trusted garage yielded nothing, I think maybe this week I’ll crawl under there and look for leak suspects. Or maybe I’ll wait and see how long it takes to come back again. But my spider sense wants me to drop the gas tank and see what’s going on up there.
You going to order the hoses / tubes for that prior to dropping the fuel tank? Or look at it then determine if you need the tubes/ hoses and then order? Hopefully you won’t need them.
Today a cruise in the country for change of scenery and fresh air.
