I noticed the new one had a little green LED power indicator light, got my Wiggy out found which was power in, long story short if I would have installed the new one inverted it would have worked the first time! :devil::crazy: All's well now and the wifey is happy again. |

When I replaced the GFCIs in my house it told you which wire goes where on the back of the outlet.

I have red, white and orange wires, and don't want to deal with it.

Got the doors off the stove little heat and the rivet pins came right out . The doors are in a rust bath right now so I can get the handle latches to work without a cheater pipe and hopefully be able to get the screws out around the glass . Needs new gaskets

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got a DUI in '00 at 45 years old. When I was being questioned at my first appointment she asked if this was my first DUI and I answered "No". She looked confused since she had read over my record with no prior DUI showing. She asked if I was sure and I said, "I'm sure this isn't my first. It's my last". At the end of the interview I told her I understood there is a whole process I have to go through, same as everyone else, because of what I was arrested for. But I don't need to be treated as someone with a drinking problem. I drove 29 years with no DUI, so either I don't have a drinking problem or I'm really good at driving drunk :lol:. What else can I say? I learned my lesson.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got my ole Baja (AKA Crispy Critter) into my messy shop finally. Now I just have to clean her up. Stay tuned.
I bought 2 cans of PB Blaster, 18 cans of beer, and Band Aid's. I think that I'm going to need them. Everything is locked up tighter than a virgin with a mean daddy. First time with a roof over her head in 45+ years. Almost rear ended my buddy's truck twice tugging her in. (no brakes) But he's got a F250 so no big deal. I ordered a new hood 6 weeks ago and it's still MIA. I called and gave them some grief so maybe I'm on the back burner. They seem sensitive and I may have insulted them with my "slow boat from China' remark. :lol: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...arage_Baja.jpg |

I hope you can come close to matching the hood up to that fuzzy naval orange.

Sheepdip, you are correct. 18 beers is not enough especially if my buddies come over to "help'. Those guys can smell beer from a mile away. Tim, that VW does look like an orange doesn't it. It's shaped like one. :lol: I'm going to keep it orange. Why not, I already have the Kawasaki lime green Bug and the lemon yellow Thing. I have all the citrus fruits covered. :lol: I got my new fancy pants deep fryer yesterday, so it's going to be deep fried whatever is on sale at the market today. |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
A flat black hood will do just fine with orange. ;)
You mean someone still makes baja kits? |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I was thinking ruby red grapefruit. Gotta get some grapefruit in there somewhere

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Grapefruit.. Dang it I knew that I missed one.
Yeah Boog they still make them. Mostly the one piece front ends that I didn't want. I just want a hood to replace the one that the wind got. I ordered it December 3rd. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went over to the rental house to make a measurement for our realtor. She wanted to know the distance from the house to the wall at the property line. A realtor showed up with prospective buyers just as I pulled up, so I waited about an hour until they left. Ain't supposed to talk to the owners...
Anyway, I made the measurement (11 feet and change, in case anyone is interested, :lol: ), then went inside to see what damages were incurred, and to turn the water on for the toilet in the bathroom that got new flooring. Made a basic security check. They left the sliding glass door unlocked. :( My wife called our realtor with that dimension, and mentioned that business with the door. Our realtor will spank the other one and put up notes to the effect that they should lock the place up before they leave. All we need is for a prospective buyer to leave a door unlocked and move into the place. Man, I'll sure be glad when this place is out of our hands. I'll be over there again, as usual, and if I have to stay over there to make sure it's locked up, I will. |
