Oil change at Omega. Steve says the rear brake pads are at about 30% and should probably be replaced next oil change.

Leaking diesel under the hood. Took into Omega, where Steve diagnosed holes in the fuel injector lines... fortunately he had stock on hand, and swapped them all out, so yay, fresh lines! Also, dash/console lights were out... Steve replaced the license plate light and they're back! So... who knew that breaking that circuit would break everything.

Steve checked the alternator and declared it to be just fine. He doesn't think a new one would be any improvement, and suspects the AAA guys just aren't quite familiar with this vintage of beast. My AC was down to .3 lbs of refrigerant (capacity is 2#), so Steve topped it up and she's blowing cool again.

Left the lights on overnight, battery was drained. Got a jump from AAA, but died again later in the day. Testing showed battery had lost most of its capacity, and alternator needs servicing/replacement, as it's performing right on the edge of negative.
