Took the truck into the shop on Monday and blew copious volumes of smoke all the way. The bad news is that I have a blown headgasket and the good news is that it is covered under warranty. The job should take about a week.

Saturday we went early to the Philadelphia premium outlets (near the nuclear power plant in Limerick) because I had a $20 coupon and it is one of the few places I can find clothes and shoes that fit. We were able to get done and out before the crowds hit.
