The local pub has a $2 Taco Tuesday special- Tacos are $2, and Burgers are $2 off. It’s become a bit of a weakly followed tradition in our household. As usual, they were delicious, even a bit overloaded. I certainly wouldn’t have ordered two if I had known.

I’ve got the battery installed in the Impala, which is running perfectly- but it is still throwing an ABS light. I have owned a Tech 2 for use with my SAABs, and I have a secondary GM card which is semi-generic for all GMs through 2010ish- which I had never used.

I tried to use it today, and no go- it’s not formatted properly. The Tech 2 hangs solid after downloading it, so that just doesn’t do.

The GM image is a single binary blob, and the Tech 2 only works with linear memory, so I’m going to boot from a Puppy/DSL USB drive and DD the image directly to the flash device.

It’s about 20 degrees out and dark, so I won’t be testing anything until tomorrow.
