morning all. speaking of thunder and lightning, we had some roll through my area around 1100ish.
im off to school around 11:15. i gotta take moms buick cause my truck needs front brakes so shes parked till tomm
when i get the parts and work on her. 30,000 hard miles aint bad for a set of front brakes. but, i need new rotors too, its making an ominous grinding noise, which it did last time. never did that before the caliper was "supposedly" replaced, by the same shop that "replaced" a couple balljoints that went bad 3 months later.......
needless to say i dont go there anymore.

To this day
all wiring in aircraft is White, with wire identifier codes inked on about every foot and a identifier sleeve at each end with an inked on code.And to work on aircraft you can't be color-blind
must be so you can safely change out the colored navigation lights. 
Some aircraft flying today are over 50 years old, like the B-52.
Cars have rats nests, airplanes literally have mice & bird's nests and the occasional gremlin
There are times when we just run a new wire, because we don't have the time to comb through the wires to find the break or chafe.
A car's wiring only goes a few feet whereas in transport category aircraft a wire bundle run can be over a hundred feet.

Howdy, everyone. I played with Pinkie today. I got the horn fixed (connector was loose) and figured out the bulb for the 4x4 indicator was burnt out. Then I fixed the cover of my Geometry book with some handy dandy duck tape. It took so much to fix it I made the executive decision to cover the whole cover in tape and never have to worry about it again.
