Field Work Travelogue – Day twenty-five

Today marks the last day of the field season and travel for 2013.

I’ve made it home relatively unscathed. The truck didn’t fare so well (but at least it got me home).

The check engine light has been on the whole trip. Apparently some sensor has gone wonky.

There was that flat tire which we fixed in the field.

A fuse was blown that same day, killing the power locks. Was able to fix that, too.

Alas, also that same day, the 4wd on the truck decided to quit working.

Oh yeah, and then there’s the matter of the gaping hole in the exhaust system that makes the truck sound rather ‘masculine.’ It’s so loud that my ears ar ringing now.

And then, for giggles, the rear end decided to start to leak.

And, it seems the right front speaker isn’t working.

But it started every time and the A/C worked like a champ.

And I’m home, so it doesn’t hardly matter any more.
