Merry Christmas all

Jim

 

Wishing everyone and their families a Very Merry Christmas!!!

 

I finished up the last of my gifts from the shop last night. Ran a new batch of bullet pens.

 

I see you've made a change on the tops...very nice!

 

Thanks. Yeah, I found some camo swirl acrylic and gave that a try.

 

What mechanism do you use, Bill?

I use the slimline series from this place:
Slimline Pen Kits - WoodTurningz

I don't use the bullet pen kits that are commercially available. I use genuine Sierra bullets and .270Win brass.

Perhaps because of the size, the system didn't seem to let me insert a direct link.


On another topic, my wife, daugter and I visited Candy Cane Lane (Oxnard and Lebo) this evening. A bit disappointed after the one hour wait to get there. I guess I remember it being bigger when I was a kid.

 

I would definitely call that a romp.

 

Merry belated Christmas to all. I unplugged this weekend and enjoyed the time with family. Didn't even get on FB on my phone that much this weekend. Hope you all had a great one!

 

Are you working this week Nathan?

 

anyone happen to have a trailer plug harness laying around? went to swap my 7 pin plug out yesterday and broke the lock tab in my harness for the 7 pin plug. also seen that the 4 pin flat plug wires has been smashed and some insulation is broken. other than those minor details the harness still works. ford wants $110 dollars for just whats pictured. outch

be cool if i could replace the plug housing that has the lock tab but i cant seem to figure out if it comes apart or not. if i can fix it then ill just repair the chafed insulation on the 4 pin plug.





when i get a chance ill give a few ford only dismantles in sun valley a call see if they haven't scrapped all the wiring harnesses yet maybe ill get lucky. if not galpin stocks it (or so says ford parts.com) ill just eat the cost.

 

If my memory serves me, harbor freight on Lankershim and Oxnard has some adapters you might be able to use. Walmart also sells some adapters. Splicing might be involved, but ...

 

i have the 7 pin recepical for the truck...

im upgradeing my stock 7pin plug which is not working to this,

I do not have the four-pin plug on the rear of mine any more, and you shouldn't need it at all if you have one of these:


Before you go spending your money at the stealership, you might see about finding your harness here:

Looks to be about $55. The adapter can be had as cheap as nine bucks.
