Day 3078

 I woke up at 7 and played games for at least an hour.  Then it was time for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that I took the CTS-3 back out to the truck and installed it.  It worked again.  However, the display no longer had the engine parameters that I want.

I had to go back inside and look up the manual on the computer.  Setting the desired parameters wasn't hard, but the way it's done isn't intuitive.  Once that was done we left to do errands.  We left Abby in the trailer because it was hot.

A regen warmup started before we left the park even though the soot level was 40% and the mileage was 225 miles.  I decided to get on the freeway and let it do a complete one.  Apparently the updates allow the soot level to count down now.  Weird things happen to the soot level when the regen ends.  The level had gotten down to under 10 when the regen stopped.  Then it jumped up to 14 and stayed there for several miles.  Then it dropped to 0.  I'd never seen zero before.  It stayed at 0 for over 20 miles before starting to increase.

I kept trying to reconstruct the engine parameter display.  Specifying the parameters is easy, but finding them in the parameter lists is hard.  We stopped at a pet store for Cooper treats and a lead to replace the one Abby broke yesterday.  Then we stopped at a Freddies hamburgers for lunch.  The next stop was AutoZone for a windshield sun cover.  We made a stop at Fry's for some groceries.  The final stop was Rudy's for BBQ.

We got home before 1.  I'd spent a lot of time in various parking lots messing with the CTS-3, but I'd finally reconstructed the engine parameter display that I'd had before.

We spent the whole afternoon surfing and watching videos.  I surprised myself and didn't nap.

Dinner was a frozen thing.  After dinner we walked around the park.  I made Abby heal the whole way.  She's been getting a little lax in her heal behavior.

We only have 112 miles to go tomorrow.  I'll have plenty of time to drain the tanks and hook up before we leave.
