Good thinking, then send him down my way! Mixed 31 80LB bags of concrete by hand today in a half hour.

Dave, thank you for the well wishes for my wife. She is doing good, very little pain. And she has a cast but just until June 7. Then a bit of physical therapy.

Pete and Kyle, I should have been more specific on what I need to work on. I just need to run. Three last time I ran was almost 15 years ago playing football in high school, and then a few runs in the woods with police chasing after keg parties. The jobs you guys are offering I do everyday, either at my lazy town job or doing framing/construction nights and weekends.

Town guys move at half our speed at best.

If you really need cardio just wait for the wife to heal up and tell her she's fat. You'll be running for hours. Just don't let her catch you... rolling pins hurt!

true.

however I'm still new ( a little more than a year) and I still have a job in the private sector. That job keeps me from slowing down to town speed





as far as the cardio suggestion......... I'm too scared

Evening guys, was cleaning out the garage, anyone need socket rail holders? I have seven packages of them, 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" in each package. Take one, or two, or three, or seven, I'll throw em out next week if no one wants them!

Hello everyone.

Andy, thanks for the FICM Repair link.

Very enlightening, and I'm still digging through all its links.

I'm still undecided on this, at least now I don't feel so bad about the missed opportunity to 'upgrade' to 58 volts when the dealership changed it out.

Because I'd now be wondering after the fact as to when the 58 volt unit would fry itself.

I certainly won't buy one until after I get home and find where the FICM is in my van.

I want to see how accessible the FICM is in the van considering the pickup truck instructions would not apply for accessing the FICM.

Maybe I'd luck out having the turtleback that I can open to gain access.

I also like the advise of having a 48 volt FICM on hand for both roadside R&R should the 58 volt unit die and for restoring to stock to pass the emission SNAP Test.

Spread 11 yards of mulch today.
