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.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
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

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. ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I hope you can come close to matching the hood up to that fuzzy naval orange.

A flat black hood will do just fine with orange.

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, ![]() ![]()
