95% done on the Inverter install
Added the hot lead today. Tomorrow I'll try to track down some fuse holders for 1/0 cable at the local audio shops.
Tomorrow I'll also fix the hack job the PO did on the ground leads.
Didn't need to crimp, used electrical solder, filled the cup up about 1/3rd of the way, then dipped the cable in and added the heat-shrink.
Couldn't find any rubber grommets the right size, had to make my own:
Staggered the holes to get the right angle and curve on the leads.
Need to find some rubber boots for the terminals:
Powers up anything I can throw at it. Need to do the big three next:
Now on to the big three and the rest of the sound system. I emailed Tousley for an estimate for the V code/block spring job...that will be the next fix.

THIS FROM DONNA:
IMPORTANT: Whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN any emails that refer to IRS, Government, or DHL shipping confirmation #!!!! IT sends a virus that destroys/wipes out your hard drive!!! I opened the DHL email thinking that someone had sent us a pkg for xmas & that's all it took! Now my computer is at the shop & I'm hoping that it can be fixed w/o having to replace the actual hard drive. GRR!!!
Please feel free to crosspost, so they know what to watch out for as well.
Thank you Steve for letting the NV board know & special thanks to Bruce for taking over in the meantime. Hope to be back soon! Miss you all bunches!

This from Bass -- Do not, under any circumstances, open an email attachment unless you know the sender AND you were expecting the email and attachment.
I've received email from peers, co-workers, family, even the dead that had their email address(es) harvested from someone else's hacked computer. It's all to easy to receive an email from a known address and trust it, but the SMTP protocol has almost zero protections so the email could have come from anyone. Give me your email address, the address from any other party, and 30 seconds, and I'll send you an email from that party. It's not tough.
I do not run anti-virus software on my home computers. Yet I've never had a virus.
Rule 1. Do not open email attachments unless you KNOW EXACTLY what it is.
Rule 2. Do not sign onto your computer with an account with administrator privileges unless you're doing something that needs admin privileges. ALWAYS sign onto your computer with an account with normal "user" privileges for day-to-day activities.
Follow just those 2 rules and 999 out of 1,000 computer viruses never get delivered or run.
This Public Service Announcement comes to you from someone that has fixed entire too many of his friends computers.....

Heavy, yes. And she swallowed it up really good too. But you should of seen the lawn when I pulled out of there. Their lawn was already soggy. All I could say was "oooops."

Scraped the loose paint and rust from the hitch and did the waste oil mod...painted the whole hitch to rust proof it. I was amazed at how much "false" paint was hiding rust underneath it once I started scraping. Sure looks a lot nicer. Then I drove it to Menards, parked it with the hitch facing the sun and let it drip in their lot instead of my driveway.

Did you put a circuit breaker or fuse in there close to the battery? I'd be a little leary of the welding cable doing some welding if it happens to wear through someplace on the chassis on the way to the cabin.
