I checked my trap line (very successful btw)

& made my first batch of hot sauce at this locale.
I need to bottle it yet.

The 'other day' was horrible...

OCD?? No, that's the Only Correct Detailed way to do an electrical job.

Picked up my Hyundai from the garage where the oil pan had been replaced and ordered 4 new 275/60/20 mud & snow tires to go on the Ram.

The guy that taught me to bend conduit was off the chart good, and a good teacher.

Not a perfectionist, but you wanted to get it right.

I still look at some conduit runs and think "I couldn't live with myself if I ran that".

Well – does another mopar project count and the past few weeks other than today? Been restoring my ’05 Dakota (think I mentioned this in another thread – but not sure). Got a rust-free box and repop fenders to replace the rusted body parts. One of those projects that gets a lot more involved than factored…such as replacing broken exhaust manifold bolts (this has become a much longer story) and ‘under’ rust exposed once the body parts are off. Pound, grind, wheel, sand, etc. to remove as much as accessible and coating it w/o taking the body off the frame.

The idea is a non-rusty body, fresh paint on my truck that has 84k on it cuz I really like this well-optioned AWD Dakota Laramie not made anymore – AND – ahh pricing out new and newer/used trucks is crazy. It won’t see the use it had as a daily driver being retired and maybe the last truck I’ll need. I don’t like the GM/Ford trucks. Ok, I’m a mopar guy. 10 grand redoing this one or $35k + + taxes, licensing, etc. getting a newer used one – nah – not forking out for a new one even though I could. Lemme have this one another 50 - 60k miles and should about do it…

In this country that makes you a homeowner, and apparently they can do what they like for themselves.

I don't recommend anyone without proper and formal training to start on complex and high current circuit wiring....anywhere. I have seen too many people burn stuff up from having 'a small amount of perceived knowledge'.

I have a little bit of experience in wiring but not enough to say I'll wire your new house even though I've done that lol

We went to the Navy USAF game at Annapolis. USAF won 23 to 3. I wore a Naval Academy shirt for my niece and my USAF cap for me.

Went to the Frankenmuth Auto Fest to see some fine cars:

And lo and behold, a boat show broke out:

Was a great day and the beer was ICE cold.

Aren't there different voltages of three phase like 208 and 277, and I want to say 460 and even more?
