Garage
Good Monday, um TUESDAY morning.

It feels like Monday but we can skip that and move on to Tuesday.

You likely have heard the phrase "it sucks to get old" before. I spent most of yesterday in the garage. Now my back and arms are sore. I would go broke in a day trying to turn pro. It took me 7 hours to wire up the new relay so that the condenser fan only runs if the compressor is on and the brakes are on.

My biggest problem is the while I am in there syndrome, and knowing that in several years I may be modifying the system again. I like easily reversible changes, and something that is not hacked together. That and I always find some other little project that needs attention. Cars with 320,000 miles always need tinkering.

When I did the engine swap the fender liner on the drivers side did not get back into position just right. I was happy to get the engine swap done and knew I could play with the fender liner later. The new relay needed a wire run into a area that the fender liner needed to come out. That means pull the battery & squirter bottle, then pull the fender liner. All just to run a wire where I wanted it hidden.
