Right, nah, she don't do oil, I checked. Iduno tho, last time I was over at the kids, I noticed I left PCM disconnected after tacking some of the pipes in place. It half in the engine compartment, but it was disconnected for two weeks, dust all over the pins stuck to the grease. Had to do a quick swabbing out, hit it with air, swabbing again, repeat, re-grease before reconnecting. The woman giving dirty looks as we wern't there to work on the truck that time around lol. Yea, opps, completely forgot to reconnect after a little bit of tacking. PITA cleaning that connector up lol.
Easy fix, the Deere was unplugged, checked that first. 
The 6/10 Positive copper lead snapped off at the batt post hole. Stress cracked, no corrosion. All that stuff was treated with "A Special" and "Dielectric". Sort of the same the 98 is except the 98 only gets A Special. Anyway, no corrosion , made a quick little cable and enjoyed squishing the snot out the cast copper w/the 6T crimper. Short lived fun lol. Over stocked on accessories and tools to fab up my own cables quite a few years back. Used the stuff for one job it seems, (maybe a little here and there like today) and it's been collecting dust in a couple of those DeWalt suitcase organizers. So I had the stuff all splayed out to make a 6" cable...sounds ate up, but it was fun going through that stuff and picking out what I needed to whip up a quality cable. Much better than the original. Todays highlight lol.

It's all in the timing white lol. Yea, she was just growing ornery holding the jug of isotope (isopropyl) and wetting the brush for me. Hey, it was a code red priority 9 quicky ....had to be done. I deserved it I guess, but cheered her back up promptly.
