Really hahaha. Quite a ways off, well he said it himself a few times, he sucks at math lol.

That would be cool car fixed up. Looks sort of like a old Galaxy 500.

It's going to be interesting to see what I find. Back in October that compressor was locked up. Now it will spin for a second, then stop. It's gotta have a bunch of crap in there. I'm replacing everything but the evaporator. I'm going to flush that.

I went over and mowed my parents lawn today... my Dad has a riding mower. I rode it right under the peach (maybe apricot?) tree and ducked under the branches... except one. Kinda got a headache now.

I hooked up the trailer last evening because I'm going to pick up an antenna tower tomorrow morning. I got no brake / turn signal on the right side of the trailer, so I thought perhaps the connection at the light was bad. Probed it, and had no voltage there, so I checked at the seven pin connector. No power on the green wire there, either. Weird.

Not wanting to go without that light working, this morning I pulled the passenger-side taillight, tapped into the brake/turn wire with a scotchlock connector, and ran a temporary wire to the back of the seven pin. I think I have the old harness from the 99 in a box, and hope that solves the problem.

RA use to sell that harness in the back. That made it easy to rewire. Use to be able to purchase from that big connector above the spare back. Not sure anymore though...that was long ago.

Between this rig and work... they kept me busy all day. It went together pretty well. I had to re-use the old liquid line, so I flushed the **** out of it. It blows a nice 40 degrees now.

Oh damn.... I saw that while I was walking around Walmart. Figured I'd listen when I got home, LOL. Too late.
