can i cure the common cold also?

maybe not. at least not yet.

so i brought the school bus home because my car is family transportation now. got home knowing the tow truck was coming for red for the tranny appointment and blondie was a cold stone in the way.

i got the 200 amp charger out and hooked it up. i let it run a bit since red has not been driven since the day before t-give. a few cranks and a whirrrrrring sound and silence. a few cranks and the whirrrring sound and silence. a few cranks aisperred prayer and encouragement to the car and viola she starts. i am amazed.

back to blondie the cold stone between the street and red. the zerostart is stone cold. even with the new outlet in the garage. the cord has power but the z-start is d-e-a-d . i hooked up the charger again and let it run. after many key turns i just hold the key in place. one cylinder kicks, a few seconds later the second kicks a few seconds later all four are kicking to go and a few more seconds l-i-f-e. whoohooooo.

i get the cars moved for the tow and start tinkering with blondie since there is no radio. the son spilled soda on the console.i lift the console and the fader is not plugged in. pop it out plug it in and ear screeching bread comes out of the speakers, on 11!! baby ima want you.....baby ima need youuuuuu. okay fixed. well how about the heater?

i took the console panel off and found the switches floating around in the car. put them on, cranked the heat up since the car was at 80 and turned the fan on. it runs!! wow!!

car runs, radio works and the heat is up. very complete day. time for a nap.

You really need to stop rebuilding diesel engines on the kitchen floor while your wife is at work, she is going to catch you one day.
