Full workday. Sorry. FULL workday. LOTS of very confused users. Don't want to drop too big of a clue, but I work in IT for a large organization with software we build to support our business. Non IT technical staff is either VERY experienced people that asked for the features, or new hires that have no idea how to use the application.... The experienced folks are not an issue... The new hires seem to be having a collective meltdown... And they are kicking tickets up to my tier right off the bat... Ugh...
Fridge warranty sent a new company over to troubleshoot my icemakers. First service company spent less than 5 minutes troubleshooting. This new company spent 2.5 hours looking at EVERYTHING. Looks like the freezer might be staying below freezing, but not cold enough to produce ice fast. It would keep ice cream frozen somewhat soft so I can believe it.
The last junction of the wiring harness before the starter is right under the lower radiator hose on the Malibu. Oh boy is this fun to get to. I can't get tot he end of the tape to unravel it, and I do NOT want to go willy nilly with a knife there fearing I will unintentionally cut a wire in the bundle. Found the fusible link by breaking out the split loom. Don't need to meter this thing. OBVIOUSLY bad... Not sure about the gauge. Going to order an assortment of 10, 12, and 14.
Working on doing the "Nor Cal Mod" to my F150. NOT going to keep the 35s, but want clearance for wheel travel with 33s. Specifically planning on going back down to 285/70R17s. Need to decide between load range D and E tires.
Spent quality time with a bucket, greasy parts, and solvent. One at a time, then back into the baggies.
Looked at traction boards. I have 1 set, but wanted a second set that featured the Hi LIft jack pad. I think instead I am going tmake a jack pad that pins into my existing boards so I can use the factor scissor jack. Farm / Hi Lift jacks scare the snot out of me so not going that way...
I have been practicing with my junktastic disposable sewing machine and have been just patching / mending things that can otherwise be considered trash. Fixed several pairs of cheap basketball shorts with seams that were coming undone. Managed some realtively neat double rows of stitches. Happy with that. Prior attempts were wobbly and all over the place.
I am getting close to the point that I believe I am ready to do "presentable things" like curtains, and cushion covers. Very happy with that progress.
I am giving serious consideration to custom printed fabric. But I also want "blackout" curtains. I am thinking though, instead of curtains, using double fabric sided Reflectix panels with Velcro strips to attach to the windows. VERY interested in a custom old school "Coleman Lantern" pattern.
I am wanting something like....
viewtopic.php?t=41091&highlight=coleman+fabric but I want to do something like one row of latnerns, one row of maybe stoves, a third row of fishing poles and campfires, then begin again... Just a thought. Oh and over a wood grain background...
Lastly, seriously considering replacing my early 90s Realistic TRC-465 40 channel AM/SSB CB Radio plus Realistic Model 12-143B Weatherradio alert model. I want all 7 weather channels, and a more modern radio. Might have to wait until FM models get on the market now the FCC has approved FM on CB, but failing that, considering a Uniden Bearcat 980SSB. I know not a lot of TNTTT folks do CB, but it is something the 4x4 club requires, and I enjoy SSB.
So the weather should be cooling off for the next 2 days before thunderstorms roll in. Planning on finishing pulling out the alternator cable, and replacing the fusible link I need a heat gun though. I REALLY don't want to shrink heat shrink tubing using a lighter at a fusible link. Bleh...
