Truck

It seems like only yesterday that I bought this truck with only 500 miles on it ( From transportation, test drives, etc). And, of course, I had to stop and get a picture before it rolled over.

While the main issue was not the battery, it still needed to be replaced. Over the weekend, I went to the Mac in the morning, and when trying to leave, my truck did the same thing where it would not turn over. I ended up calling Nicole and having her pick me up and take me home, where I could call around and get it towed to Docs Automotive in Okemos, as they had done work for me in the past. ...

Well, it finally happened; I shouldn’t say finally, as this is the second time that I have had to change the battery in a 2013 Chevy Silverado since I purchased it, but the timing sucked more this time around. I got home from work Wednesday, pulled into the driveway like usual, put it in the park, turned off my Bluetooth aux receiver, and turned the ignition off. I know it’s quite the production… ...

So, while I was pretty excited about the upgraded stereo, it didn’t go as planned. I know it had been a decade, or sadly two, since I installed an aftermarket stereo, but I figured, “How hard could it be?”. So began my weekend adventure of installing the car stereo, only to be met with nothing. Absolutely nothing. I went as far as going to four different stores looking for a new wiring harness as I figured the cheap one I got off Amazon was labeled incorrectly. I even searched for the pinouts from the stereo and rewired everything manually according to that, and still nothing. ...

With the new job with UTAC, I now find myself commuting a few days a week, spending a couple of hours each day in my truck, give or take. Depending on the traffic, it is 10 hours of driving. While I am not complaining ( Right now) about the time spent, I am, however, finding myself listening to a LOT more music, podcasts, and audiobooks than I have in the past decade while working from home. ...
