    Yeah I know... As I was waiting for the mechanic I was tearing the burned batteries out and climbing all over and under that truck looking for the short. All I needed was the truck to run good enough to not destroy itself in 100 miles or so. I'll be ###### if I was going to wait until morning for a new line... Or even several hours for a tow. I got the #### thing running and boogied down the road... Albeit a little slower without power steering.

    After a shower I'm going to have a Rye and Pepsi on ice... I think I've earned it.

    Just looked through my call log... I called the boss just after I set out my triangles, and again as I was gaining speed on the shoulder after repair... Just shy of 2 hours from disabled truck to up and running again...

    Dont think I could have done that with your run of the mill road side service place.
