    Well Dang.
    I got my stuff stored away, lunch meat in fridge, clothes put away, climbed down, checked oil, lines, antifreeze,
    Go to start old red.
    Turned key, go through system check, hit Start.

    Notta, Nothing,
    Try again, Nothing.
    Lights dim.not even a click.
    I go.. Fuse in battery Box
    Take off fairing yada yada fuse good.
    3 hours of hot work fell off the gosh darn pos when my knee give out and buckled and landed on the gravel lot.
    Wasn’t no jump up and look around, was lay there looking up at the sky resting.
    (Long fall from top step I wouldn’t advise it)
    So I hooked up 24 volt jump start, notta.
    I put the pos back together and with back about to break, I’m going back home.

    Here’s a good song to break the mood.

    Bum deal. Maybe the selinoid between ignition and starter. Don’t know if your Truck has one. But Freightliners know for a broken wire right there.

    Yeah. I’ll go tomorrow and climb under the truck, after the skydiving adventure. It was pretty much over for today.

    I once fell off the top step of my WS. I had just returned to work, after 4 mos, off and back surgery. I hit snow, stopped to clean windshield. Walked right off the top step. Laid out flat. Back felt as bad as before surgery. Thought I really did it now. Lol. Luckily some excercises fixed me up.

    What about the brownies?
    Who is going to rage chemical warfare?

    I fell out of / off of my mixer once. Went to get out and I guess my foot slipped off the top step, cause in the blink of an eye I was on my ### looking up at the truck lol.

    Only injury was my pride.
