If this morning is a preview to this evening, viewing that eclipse is going to be a non-issue. Can't hardly see across the street for the fog. 
It’s cloudy here but starting to break up. I plan on being up to see it. Doesn’t start until 2 am my timeIf this morning is a preview to this evening, viewing that eclipse is going to be a non-issue. Can't hardly see across the street for the fog.
It's good. Been doing some wiring on a pool. Ka ching. Found a new source of car money.
Doin a job in the shop myself today. Barter system. Got a semi disabled man from my church doing yard work and powerwashing the siding on Both buildings. I offset his price some by putting new rotors and brakes on his 04 colorado 4x4. Im doin it cause on these colorados, you gotta pull the front hubs , cause the rotor bolts from behind it. PIA but worth it.....
Good to know. I think I'll keep my Dakota. LOL
Always good to do for people with less. IMO
Captive rotors. Its good to know when you quote on a job.

Wine women and Song, waste the rest
Plowing snow, i plow alongside my quonset. 4wd quits. Popped the actuator fuse. Actuator died. Damn dorman crap. Lasts 2 years. I have a bypass made that locks in 4wd. Guess its a full timer now. $159 to replace.
Dropped plow.truck wont move. Bent plow mount. Ended up installing the lock in the snowbank. Sucks.

So, customer drops off his car for service.

Agree, I knew the score before I made a deal with him......
Clouds and rain rolled in... Supposed to have some sun again tomorrow but 40 instead of high 60s. Take what you can get now.

Probably just had an electrical fire and the transmission was missing a part and the speedo cable had a clip break .....

Man, its almost been a week with no forum for me.
In the meantime, the duster had a charging issue and I found out both the VR and the Alternator (both alternators I had) were bad. This caused each test drive to end in pushing the car home.
I thought I fixed the issue by putting a jumper on the alternator but apparently not. I found out that it did not work on the way to the winter formal dance at my school.
It died in an intersection, and I had my mom bring my truck to take me the rest of the way. (about a 1/4 mile)
