All the cables seem to be plugged in and I get power to the fuel injectors when the ignition is turned on but there are no lights, and starter doesn't turn over.

The escape is really starting to aggravate me.
Yep we have an excessive heat warning until Sunday. Highs 98/99 heat index 108 and humidity 80%+ ... gotta love the Midwest

Eeek.... I felt that it was humid here today at 40%.

At 80% it better damn well be raining, LOL.

I'd be happy in western colorado, sure it gets up to 90 but rarely over 40% humidity. This 60+% humidity is a killer.

Any of you guys do VoIP? Just curious how you like it. I just ordered a box on Amazon to do that instead of paying for a home phone at the new house. I got this one here:

Most of the Voip stuff I deal with is business class. I can't give you a recommendation on that one but I would suggest finding out if your ISP's router supports QoS (Quality of Service) and have at least a minimum network connection of 10 Mb/s. Dedicate at least 20% to the voip phone if you use a phone a lot.

One thing to keep in mind is that VoiP can have a noticeable latency when talking to other people, particularly if your internet connection doesn't support QoS. Another factor is bandwidth usage at the time of the call and what kind of service you are getting.

Just a quick summary which may not make any difference to you.

Yeah within the first 10mins your shirt is drenched and the sweat is just running down your face; sometimes just walking outside feels like you're swimming.

Also man I loved when I visited Utah, went hiking in upper 90° weather and broke a sweat finally after 5hrs of hiking! Loved it! Although I did very much have to pay attention and remind myself to drink plenty of water. Us midwesterners rely on the constant feeling of sweat to remind us to drink water lol

Yea, Colorado weather would be nice. It's been around 60 - 61% here. Temps creep up between 80 and 90. It's 77.2* @ 61% currently and I'm comfortable right now. BUT, I'm not doing anything strenuous either.

You can have the divorce, but you have to get married first buddy. Has no one told you that yet? Michiganders', sheesh. ROFL.
