It is Father’s Day today and I realized something. We are currently traveling and are at the headwaters of the Missouri river, a key location in Lewis and Clark’s expedition. Last year at this exact time we were at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis which is a memorial for those who made possible the western expansion of the United States including Lewis and Clark! So, it seems as though our new family tradition is to spend each Father’s Day doing something related to Lewis and Clark. Ok, maybe that’s a silly tradition, but I think its pretty interesting how we ended up on Meriwether and Williams’ path 2 Father’s Days in a row.

The day started early with the furnace not working. Although I was pretty groggy I quickly figured out that it was a fuse related problem. When I went to pull the fuse the furnace kicked on and the fuse fault light went out. Apparently it had just come a bit lose. Whew! Next up on the docket is me driving into the little town of Three Forks MT to the CarQuest shop to borrow their scan tool (which they keep behind the counter in a Crown Royal bag) to see why the check engine light was on in the Beast. A P2599. That means that the turbo vane sensor showed a more open position that the ECM thought it was at. I cleared the code and am praying that it was just a fluke due to some really long and heavy driving yesterday through the mountains at 75MPH with a huge headwind.
