Covered under warranty

Went to go see a movie with a friend on Monday (The Black Dahlia, I didn't like it) and the temperature light came on in the car. Checked around, and found the coolant reservoir really low. Bought some distilled water and filled it up. Light didn't come back on.

I took a closer look at the engine and saw pools of coolant on top of the transmission. Made an appointment, got it in today, and when I showed it to the service advisor and we actually saw a drip come from a hose. Turns out a coolant flange was faulty. They replaced it. Under warranty.

Woo, didn't have to pay a thing. Woo.

Saw Jackass 2 tonight. Much better. Very funny.

About my weekend, and another ride report

Was back out on the Olympic Peninsula this weekend. Met up with a bunch of friends in Sequim and saw a friend's band play at the 7 Cedars Casino. Had a great time with them Friday night and ended up pretty sloshed, but I managed to get some riding in on Saturday.

The weather called for rain later in the day, and luckily I managed not to get caught in any. I started in Sequim, and rode up 101 to highway 112. Highway 112 is an interesting road. Heading west, most of the road is downhill and some of the twistier stretches of the road are downhill making for some interesting riding. Perhaps it was the previous night's drinking, but I felt like I was not quite riding as well as I could. The two times my foot grazed the ground had me either worried or laughing, as I was riding pretty hard. In any case, I still had a good time. I then made the mistake of riding down highway 113 to get back to 101. I should've turned around and rode 112 back to Port Angeles. 101 before Lake Crescent is really boring, and then I got stuck behind several cars on 101. Ah, well.

The rest of the ride was uneventful and I managed to get onto the Edmonds ferry just in time. The weather's really starting to change, so some of the colors I saw on this ride were stunning. In any case, I hope to keep being able to ride even as it gets cooler.
