sorry for the rant. my wife doesn't understand. i need you guys (and Kathy).

Oh, i'm probably not going to Carlisle now, if it's supposed to be raining as hard as they say. i can only stay until early afternoon anyway. i'm kind of bummed.
Morning Steve, sounds like getting a new harness would be easier than trying to figure out the rats nest that you have now. At least this way, you will have a better piece of mind once it is completed.

Yeah Neil. I'm getting there fast. And knowing i won't have a bunch of shorts when i'm done is worth it, i think. i'm looking at Mac's right now. Hard to find exactly what i need. I might hit Dennis Carpenter's site, too.

I have heard good things with the Painless stuff. You may want to talk with Pat because I know that he has been researching this stuff for his '67.

I've heard of Painless, too. Pat, when you show up, what do you think? I guess I should google that.

Howdy folks. Been a busy morning, even though I'm off today. Lots to finish up to get ready for tomorrow. Right now, time to eat - something I haven't yet done today..

Hey Steve, going much better now! Had a bad time with my back last week. Steve, if I were you, I'd figure out how to get a new harness for that thing. I know they are pricey, but what is your sanity worth? And, no sense worrying about coming out some morning, and seeing the truck buring away from an electrical short!

I had been experiencing some mild chest pain and shortness of breath but they said everything looked fine where the grafted the bypass by the vessel they used seemed to be small. I guess I need to use my nitro when I feel these symptoms.
