The Jeep seems to be okay. Ted thinks something had gotten frozen and got wet when it thawed (it’s warm out), and after he turned it off and turned it back on all the gauges were okay again, so he didn’t bring it to a mechanic. *gasp* He updated his blog! With … no truffle recipe. Snif. I’ll have to nag him about that. :)
