are you able to resume driving? So that you can get back to fishing?

I've been driving, but I'm not supposed to fish, I don't think. That doesn't mean I don't go, though! watching the water is soothing!

I'm glad to hear that. I know that not being able to drive was driving you crazy.

I'm going to have to bring my car in. For some reason sensor issues seem to crop up lately. I think that another sensor needs replacing or it could be a vacuum hose. I know that at some point it's time to get a bit newer car but I'm holding out for the time being. The mileage for the car's age is really good.

I have a tire sensor issue, i'll get it replaced sooner or later.

My sensor issues all seem to manifest in the car dogging out, poor acceleration. This time was connected to using the A/C. When I turned it off the car behaved itself. Weirdly, it didn't do it when I had the heat on yesterday.

A/c requires a compressor, heat doesn't. It sounds like time for a car checkup.

I bring it in to my mechanics about every 3 months for a complete digital exam. I just had it in on August 14. The only thing that cropped up was that the coolant wasn't charging as cool enough as it should so they took care of that. It's possible that whoever worked on it screwed something up as it was fine before that. Beyond that, it could be 3 or 4 other causes, like a vacuum hose to a compressor bearing.

I've been monitoring it and plan to bring it in.

A/c systems are simple... blower, compressor, and freon, LOL!

It's always something with cars, especially these today. Back in the day, cars didn't have so much stuff in them to break..

I know. I remember changing my own spark plugs on one of my cars one time.

To you it's simple, LOL. You'd have made a great engineer.

LOL! Maybe. I only changed the spark plug in my scooter and changed the throttle cable. Car? I adjusted the carburetor and did oil and such things.... and repaired a windshield wiper with superglue and a button.
