    When you retire, get hurt on the job, laid off or die. OR get the dream job, then transferred to CA after they said you'd be in the same state for at least 5 years.

    Ever wondered what it was like to be schizophrenic and have auditory hallucinations? Well enjoy this video then. Wear headphones, obviously.

    Just listened to that, and it might not be a bad soundtrack for the gym.

    Love this guy. Good vocalist, good clown, & a Theremin!

    I'll suffer the song choice.

    Finding 3-1/2 inch tubing that isn't schedule 40, or thin exhaust pipe, is really being a pain in my ass....and finding someone to bend the tubing if I can find it.

    Wiring still sucks because it's very time consuming, and I can't do my relays the way I initially wanted to....which was made fun of anyways...I did get an alternate but similar outcome figured out and the switch plate is ready for fabricating into a housing. Relay panel and circuit breaker plans are set, and bundled cabling is getting run along with getting lights mounted.

    Progress at a slow pace is better than no progress I figure.

    There's a nominal chance that nobody really gives a shit about this part, but I saw a substantially lifted truck over here in Commerce City West, and I stopped to take a look at it. Mid 2000 gas with what looked like good spring work, and it had a higher end shock system installed, electric side steps, and some other shit. So...I'm starting to look more closely at the frame/wiring/etc.... rats nest spaghetti wiring everywhere and "shit, I think this will be good enough" installation ideals. Hack much, bro? I can't imagine how messy stuff is behind the dash or under the hood.

    I really don't want to be "that guy" as I put this thing together.

    I was like you in that way once & more than a little. Very pleased with my level of quality when it comes to items I've built for me & mine. Hard lesson I learned sometime recently was there is a 'good enough' that is not anything like 'half a**ed' though I'm still not entirely convinced the message stuck...

    Hey, Chick.

    I'm trying to do this right, and there have been several times along the way that doing something faster and easier was an option. Kicking myself in the ass to try harder on that other stuff wasn't that bad....but yanking the chain on "easy wiring" is a bigger pill to manage at times. I do know I'll be better off in the end though.
