The shitmobile lives up to its name... again

During our lunch break today we noticed a puddle under the truck, which smelled like diesel fuel. Investigation proved that the fuel was leaking from a line. It remains to be seen how serious this problem is; the fuel wasn't dripping onto the exhaust system, at least, so no immediate fire hazard, but this really needs to be dealt with before we drive to Pembroke on Tuesday. The investigation continues.

Apparently we'll have a second vehicle for the trip, by the way. It's a large cargo van, apparently an insurance writeoff. Somehow I have a feeling that this vehicle won't be entirely trouble-free either.

It was a short day, so for the heck of it I took the TTC downtown. I didn't do much, except eat, but it was a nice change from sitting in my hotel room and surfing the net.
