So my beautiful truck, won’t pass the Texas State inspection. It seems impossible, since it only passed California’s inspection a couple of months ago – which is stricter.

Yet twice now they’ve said ‘no way jose’ to the CO2 readings. I’m not sure what the cause could be. One would have to have a job in order to take it to the shop to lookee see – mechanics are funny that way about being paid.

So in the meantime I wait. (I have two interviews tomorrow. Yippee). And, today at at the stoplight it died. So when I restarted it – huge plume of black smoke. Oops. I think if you can ‘SEE’ the emissions, that’s a bad thing.

So, for now, I’m not driving it. It’s parked until I can afford to have it looked at. But, I’m still convinced it’s Robs maniacal cross country near 100 mile an hour driving style that contributed to this. So, that’s my story – and I’m believin it. Hope you all are well.
