But I don't see a light blue wire at all and it isn't the orange one. Ideas?
It was the orange on, guys. That's the one that was connected to the illumination to the receiver.

Well, I made it home safe. The Ex started up with little to no issues and ran home fine!

After more than a week driving a rental car, it was great to be behind the wheel of my Ex once again!

Lost a bet and got an awful bumper sticker that I need to keep on for a year. Will grab a pic tomorrow in the light.

However, I dodged a bullet tonight as well. I said as the Ducks were down 5-2 that if they made a comeback I would put a 40inch by 40inch Ducks' logo on the hood of the Ex for a year. Just as I finished saying that they scored a goal and kept the heat on. Thank god they didn't pull through.

That spot is reserved for my giant Senators logo.

Got a break from the ran in Austin, so jumped on the opportunity for an oil (Champion Blue Flame 15w40 synthetic blend) and filter (Motorcraft) change + car wash and vacuum. Yes, the Champion Blue Flame oil is "blue"

I pulled a little dump truck out of the yard at my buddy's house. Twisted the driveshaft off the truck, so I had to pull it out dead.

WOAH! Did he sink down over a few days or did he park in a marsh?!? How hard was it to get him out? How long did it take?

Backed in and sank. We have a high water table here. It took a bit of time, being he twisted the driveshaft off, we had to get creative on how to get it out. We put blocks of wood under the back of the box, and raised it up to pull WT off the axle, I had straps stretched to the street for better traction, being the driveway is gravel. Gave it a nice stready pull as he raised the box, and it came out nice and slow. Lol

How long ago did the driveshaft break? Looks like it has been there for 20 years with the grass growing right up to the tires.
