    So head out of the house this morning had to open the garage to grab something. Saw my motorcycle looking all lonely. It was nice out so I says to myself. "Self what you rather do today drive to Idaho or go for a ride". I locked up the truck grabbed my jacket and helmet said F it and went for ride. I can just do the run Friday and Saturday instead. Gotsta ride when the bike looks sad.

    Do any of u guys have a code reader for the truck ? I got a service engine light and i went in to try and find a code on dash computer and it tells me to plug in scanner or some language similar to that. Wondering if dpf could need cleaning. No problems at all and light came on randomly 429xxx miles want to find a code to figure out what it is

    What about feeding seagulls out of a 40 cent popcorn bag? If you could manage to decompress with a cloud of them taking turns eating... you would lose your anger pretty fast.

    I don't have access to that kind of code reader, I don't even know what kind of port or type of connector to even find a diagnostic strong enough to handle codes whatever they are.

    What they really should do is convert the codes which is pretty particular sequence of numbers based on what part is no good. And write plain english exact problem so anyone on the planet as long they know english or whatever can find the affected part and fix it.

    Thats one of the reasons I loved old Iron so much, if the engine got a little touch off, sick or lost it's Music or something else you can trace the issue very quickly without all that computer BS.

    Do not forget to examine yourself for infections on or inside your person now and then. Being in that kind of situation is not good for the body. Find someone to stick a lighted ear examination into both ears now and then. There are fungi that can grow like a leaf inside your ear canal at some point in our lifetime should we stay in the environment you describe. Fortunately it's easy for doc to get them out with tweezers.

    I have learned to like western Nevada somehwere in the region of Hawthorne or close to the eastern sierra range. Even though I am a ocean boy from the east when necessary, I have enjoyed very much the Sierras and their beauty that in times of winter pretty much contrasts with the burning hell we have left to cross over. Not to mention the two feet of snow below the evergreens that are also buried And the great silence and fresh air not availible anywhere else in the USA But sorry California I will stay on the Nevada side.

    Its the silence that reduces my overall stress. And I love music as much as anyone. But prefer them to be righteous power coming out of the stereo, whatever it might be. None of that portable earbud crap.

    In the State School one way I learned to get silence at that level was to hop into our swimming pull. SOmething like 3 and half feet down to 12 feet and 160000 gallons of water heated to 82 and once you are in there with a snorkel tub to essentially bob like a dead body while pulling in fresh air you will find that sometimes you can take a nap in that situation and it would be a awesome nap not availible elsewhere. However if anyone entered the great room in which the pool is kept the water will viberate just atiny amount as they walk on the concrete near it. If you were focused at peace and able to maintain a touch with the environment beyond most people.

    Put another way, there used to be a particular bridge and I would feel it's activity under so many cars and trucks at rush hour. As long that bridge shook in a very particular way, a sort of human breathing... alls well. Spouse had to be trained in how to pick up those subtle vibrations.
