Took Speck to Sunnyside Mitsubishi for an evap code. This is the third time the Service Engine Soon light lit up for this code. The service department will order a new fuel pump & gasket which should be available for installation sometime next week.
I should find that code - I know I have it saved somewhere.

Found my records on my OBDLink app:
2020-SEP-09: P0442 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (small leak)
This was first simply cleared by my dealer but it came back. There were several such entries that I saved. The second trip they cleaned the fuel filler neck. It stayed clear for a couple months, but...
2021-FEB-14: P0456 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (very small leak)
At least it went from a small leak to a very small leak.
There's more data on the app. I can post the details if anyone is interested.

Tuesday marked five years with Speck. So far so good. It’s doing exactly what I need out of a car and there’s great support from Sunnyside Mitsubishi. Some great features too.
Here’s to many more.

I’ve been making maple syrup this week. Two small batches turned out pretty darn good.

Hey - me too!
I was slightly disappointed in my first batch (less than 1 L of syrup) - less flavourful than other years.

My first batch this year yielded maybe 6 ounces, but it turned out great. It had a buttery flavor to it. I gave it to my neighbors who own the tree.
This warm weather stopped sap flow. Now I gotta go check the sap bucket.

Buttery! Neat.
I like how syrup can taste different from small batch maker to maker. My 3 trees give a slightly nutty flavour. My brother's trees make the classic flavour.
