Since I can't really go anywhere and she can't I've done a few things I'd been putting off.
I installed another 30amp relay for the driving lights that I activate through the parking lamps so I can drive at dusk with just my parking and driving lights on. I'll take some pictures later this afternoon when it gets a little dark. Also installed a new radiator plastic strip that the wires run through across the radiator support. Had to drill a few extra holes to hold it on.
Going back out and see what else I can do that want be to hard. I have a new fire wall conduit also to install.
