    The OM has acquired truck 4.

    AND

    We've made it to a Petro. This is no small accomplishment in the 7 days of FUNK.

    Part of the funk was last night they have a detour in Jackson Mississippi. It's probably no big deal if you travel that way a lot.

    ALL TRUCKS MUST DETOUR

    Ok. That's the last instruction. Now it's every truck for himself. Wtf?

    So then get CHECK ENGINE light. That's just GREAT. 2000 miles from nowhere on Sunday night with 350 miles to go.

    SO, figured out how to pull up the code.

    Code=Water in fuel

    Just so happens I carry spare water separator and fuel filters. No one has the water separator but dealers.

    SO

    Stop at a TA early this morning, the kid changes the water separator,
    BUT
    Doesn't have the keys to his tool box to get the filter wrench.:eek: And loses the O ring for the water separator for like 15 minutes. I found it.

    SO

    I says I gotta roll. About the time I was getting back on the highway, the code cleared.

    My refurbished HP Notebook I bought for $170 several years ago will no longer play UTube. The new phone will, but, alas it may be time to upgrade to a $250 laptop. The horror.

    Always carry a filter wrench for those extra filters.

    Try going into your browser settings and clearing the cache. Next, click on the help, then check for updates. Then finally if a windows machine, got to the control panel and select the icon Windows Update. Doing those three things should make youtube watchable.

    If your still wanting to go with something else?
