Truck keeps running smoothly. It's settled down a bit, running better now than it ever has.........ever.

Here in Oregon the eclipse madness is well and truly underway. Population along the path of totality is projected to double this weekend. One would be well advised to have their weekend shopping done as soon as possible, and gas shortages are starting. My girlfriend reports that a couple stations in Albany are out of gas and the state is issuing directives to it's employees to fill up all state vehicles the next couple days, regardless of how full the tank is.

While incredibly unlikely to be needed, I have a significant stock of kerosene(scored a 55 gal drum full for a very good price not long ago, along with a few other cans) that my truck can burn, in addition to the automotive oils/veggie oil/tiki torch fuel/etc that could be scrounged up. Makes me smile, even in a protracted fuel shortage, we'd be able to get around just fine for quite awhile.
