The hotels for #AnthroWeekendUtah have figured out hotel room keys! Instead of fumbling with a keycard, we have these neat RFID wristbands. They can be worn under a fursuit and are much more difficult to lose.
Absolute genius.

We're getting close to #AnthroWeekendUtah! About an hour and a half out.
We did drive all night, here's hoping they'll let us check into the hotel a bit early.

My poor windshield...
Of course I'm going to try fixing it myself but I've never had much luck with laminated glass. Maybe this will be the one time it works!

Which turbo gasket was leaking? If you guessed "both of them", congratulations!
The good news is that I was able to get the gaskets out without removing the turbo itself. That's always messy, because it has an oil and coolant feed and return line (four lines total, filled with antifreeze and engine oil). New gaskets should be here tomorrow, and hopefully reassembly will be easy.
Always replace *all* of your gaskets!

Pictures of my current vehicular project/nightmare: my '05 Subaru Outback XT with 150k miles. Turbocharger went out, so I decided to replace it myself while also upgrading the oil delivery and upgrading the up pipe (both common failure points). Initially the replacement worked fine, but after less than 50 miles I started to smell exhaust and wasn't building boost. This points to a failed or improperly seated gasket between the turbo, up pipe, and exhaust. So now I'm pulling it completely apart again to replace gaskets!
This is the perfect mountain car (high ground clearance, cargo capacity, boosted for elevation, AWD, reasonable fuel economy) so I'd prefer to keep it until a viable EV alternative is available. That said, between the clutch two hundred miles ago and the turbocharger, I'm out over $2500 in just a couple months. This is the only viable option in the current car market; buying new or used is far too expensive!

Musical Interlude: Long ago, here in Baltimore we had a charming Irish band called Celtic Thunder. They disbanded in the 90s and the name has since been appropriated by what I regard as an overly-slick stadium-oriented band that I just disdain. But the OLD Celtic Thunder was lovely stuff, good down-n-dirty folk that you'd hear at the local pub. Here's a lovely track.
"Oft in the Stilly Night," performed by Celtic Thunder.
