Damn... it got cold QUICK tonight. Temp says it's 52, but the wind makes it feel like it's in the 30's. It was 70 when I left work.

I took some time on Frankus tonight. Got the better headlights in there, and test fitted my Ebay clear fogs that I got for 20 dollars.

For ONEsies, try, JameCo, San Carlos, CAlif, I believe. Not the best website. Not the lowest prices, but, ONEsies.

They WERE, and may now be, the Radio Shack replacement.

I am close, if any need hand-holding... though I have sorta left that for the most part - but not totally.

so sounds like the wedding is going to get called off. The township where our venue is came in and shut them down due to zoning, and now they have to go for a variance
