Over the past week or so, my wife’s 2004 Odyssey has given her a blinking green “D” (drive) light on several occasions. After looking in the owner’s manual, we were a bit concerned because the blinking green light is a sign of transmission trouble.

For those that are unaware, the 2nd generation (1999-2004) Honda Odyssey has a history of transmission troubles, particularly in the earlier years. We were thus concerned that we might be facing a major repair.

At the same time, we haven’t noticed any slippage, racing, or other shifting problems, so we were hoping it wasn’t anything major. We dropped the car off with our favorite mechanic this morning, and guess what?

He called this afternoon to say that the warning code indicated a bad 4th gear pressure switch, which is a trivial repair. We picked the car up tonight, and are hopeful that’s the last we’ll see of the blinking green light.

And with that, here are some recent links that caught my eye…

That’s it… Happy reading!

In my last roundup, I noted that I recently decided to start running. I’ve been taking it slow, but have still managed to develop some hip pain. I’m thus currently taking a week off to recover. The good news it that I’ve identified the problem.

The main issue is that my feet supinate (roll slightly outward) when I run, so I picked up some new running shoes to better stabilize my feet. I also picked up a foam roller to help with the recovery, and am hoping to run a Memorial Day 5k.

And now… Here are some recent finance articles that caught my eye:

That’s it. Have a great (rest of the) week! And stay healthy. :)
