Good morning. Nothing like not being able to sleep, and then when you have to get up, wanting to fall asleep. Today is hoped to turn into a red letter day in the history of me.

Not as productive as I had hoped, but not as stressful either!

Just done grilling some chicken for dinner.
I may make a couple of side dishes.

Good morning Ray!

I think I've found my short, so I'm off to a good start.

I have been intermittantly blowing my turn signal and brake/hazard fuses.
Always BOTH 15A fuses and randomly, without any specific reason (rain, bumps etc...)

This is where the harness turns up into the DS tail light area.

15A, I'm surprised to see no arcing.

Good morning everyone! A day late into the June thread, so it's time to catch up!

Yesterday we took the boat to the only reasonable water close to here, which is Lake Chargoggaggoggmanchaugagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster, MA. Not sure how to pronounce the name, but the town of Webster extorted $200 from me yesterday for a season pass to their boat ramp. Had a great time out there, and we're heading out there again today.

Really enjoying how well the new truck tows. I can cruise up and down the hills of northeastern Connecitcut at less than 2,500 RPMs in just about all conditions; that little V6 reminds me of towing with my past diesel Super Duty trucks.
