    Tractor update:
    The key switch is intermittent. Then it stopped working all together. When I took the key switch out? The wire that feeds the switch was under the wire from the battery when I installed the starter. I must have a poltergeist. That wire was dangling free and the battery wire was snug on the starter. Freaky I tell ya. No the wife didnt do it. She has a hard enough time trying to throw the breaker switch for the compressor. Seriously, its labeled "air compressor". She wont touch it as it is too complicated. So I have no idea how that wire was undone. Garage is locked when I am not there. Only people that come here otherwise are deliveries.

    Otherwise the battery wire is also being intermittent. Shiny post on starter, shiny brass battery terminal. Soldered wire from battery connector to soldered lug at the battery. Everything is clean and tight. I will bump the starter 2x and the wires wont work any more. Replaced the wires, and even the wires when touched fail to work after 2x. Yet if I touch a bolt or wrench to the terminals it doesnt fail.

    One of you put a curse on me didnt you?

    He also loudly announced the vending machine was broken. It has BBQ pork riblets that I thought would be delicious.

    So this other dude comes in. Definitely a reb, but not Opus.

    So we have soup ( from Blackie ) and talk about trucking kind of stuff.

    Super trucker leaves.

    So, while I'm waiting I punch in the code for a box of Sour Gummies to see what they cost. The machine gives me a box of Gummies, AND a $1.50 in quarters which I'm thinking belonged to our fearless Delta Force Gear mover.

    It’s called age!! Lol. I catch myself all the time. I always double check things. Now I guess I’ll have to triple check things. I hooked some wires up backwards on my starter. Even though I had them marked. First it wouldn’t start, fixed that, then A/C wouldn’t work, power wire was hooked to ground. I forget what I’m doing sometimes in the middle of it. More and more trying to focus on one thing, start to finish. Seems to work. Ran out for some bolts today, later found the ones I bought yesterday. Lol. And I’ve got buckets of nuts and bolts.
