<p>Well, it’s thundering and blizzarding outside. Thanks, fate. Turns out working on a car in a blizzard is just like working on a car in cold weather except that your pants get wet. Wear ski pants and it’s not too awful.</p>

<p>Turns out my car had a guest a few years ago. He fashioned a cozy nest out of firewall insulation and napkins. He was a very good tenant: quiet, and didn’t chew on a single wire.</p>
<p>I blew it… I got the dashboard back together enough to test the heater box today and I hear a vacuum leak. I must have cracked the fresh air solenoid while jockeying the box around. Lucky me, I get to take it all back apart and glue the leak shut. I’m bummed.</p>
<p>The snow really is beautiful.</p>
