I'm really, getting to hate wiring.
We have the new spark plugs, cap and rotor in. And I honestly can't say I feel a difference, but it really did start up faster
.
Now on to the wiring
. I have one bright, and one dim brake light. No turn signals, and one four way flash that works.
But on the bright side, the headlights are great
The joy's of owning an older vehicle that too many people that have no idea what they're doing have touched.

70 degrees yesterday, and 70 today. Spring is coming. Bob, it would be a beautiful day to be outside working. Or just take Ka'Bluey out and go home shopping. If I didn't have this silly job thing getting in the way, I'd be starting on the yard work. Anybody good with a rake??? Want to prove it???
Seriously though. I know I'm not the only one on here that likes to grow their own food. What's everyone planning on putting in the ground this spring, and when?

I'm doing tomatoes again this spring. Maybe get some lettuce out there too.

I made a craigslist run this morning for some Ka'Bluey stuff I've been looking for. When I get there I meet Rob the guy that has the listing.
Within 10 minutes later, another big boy comes out from behind a shed as Rob and I talk about truck stuff. Within 10 or so more minutes another even bigger boy drives up and walks into a shed not far from where Rob and I are at.
I actually started to feel uneasy and told Rob I was going to set down in my truck that was 30 or so feet away
, since he was going to be a bit yet taking the trim off that I was there to buy.
I got to the truck and hit the lock button as I closed the door, and took my 9mm out that was in my waistband. Another 10 or so minutes later Rob comes over and has the stuff I was there there to get. I pay him, and get my item and he want's me to go over to the shed and see an engine that he has in there.
I told him I needed to head back, and I got the heck out.
Today was the first time in all of my craigslisting that I had actually felt unsafe.
Go with what your gut tells you
