    That was procedure last week, but I'm sure its changed, we probably got that memo, but I was probably sleeping.

    Well, betting I'll be on the yard again tomorrow... last week I reported that my temp controls were acting up and the blower motor was running louder and louder.

    Guy looks at it a bit and says that he thinks the motor is just vibrating on something in the side box... being already late for my run to Canada, I thought I would pass on calling BS and just run since it wasn't a safety issue, yet... yesterday and today, controls have become a sentient being and decided to flex its muscles by making its own decisions about working and at what speed... LOL

    While the back blower motor is making twice the noise and moving even less air... yes, must be vibrating on something in the box... LOL

    Nice cool weather outside and can drive with the windows cracked so not overly worried other than when I was driving in rain today and the window began to fog over... now it's a safety issue... gotta be fixed before winter for sure.

    So if anyone is in the yard tomorrow, look me up and let's go grab a bite to eat or something.

    Wait, is the shop even open on Sundays???
