I think the passenger headlight is still good.

Foglights look ok.

You might find a spring or two that's good.

Tires are probably ok since they're rubber unless they've been nicked.

Evening everyone!

Long day at work. 3 1/2 hour retreat this morning, then felt like I was working in a sauna at my desk. No air movement and they haven't prepped the chillers yet. I might have to bring my ear protection along and go work in the datacenter where it's cool.

Just sitting down. I've got some church stuff to get done before a 6pm and 7pm meeting tomorrow. The 7pm should be interesting.

Well still don't have the escort going. My dad rebuilt it the other day. Then it would sometimes start first time others would take 10-15 tries to get it to engage. So last night I pulled it off thinking the solenoid was bad. So he put a new one on and I put it back on tonight but same thing. He came over and checked it out. He thinks possibly the drive he put on maybe machined bad so it it is not meshing good. He is going to put a new drive on it tomorrow and try again tomorrow night. He said he got this bunch from a different supplier. Hopefully that is the problem

Good morning Dale, Jim and the rest of MN.

Getting some much needed rain last night.

Good luck with the Escort Jim.

Talked to my brother last night, he is camping at Fort Wilderness in Disney World. He said they have about 800 sites. Good thing he brought the golf cart. He's got me excited to go camping now. Then he sends pics to rub it in!
