Cool Man

Finally some good weather to report. Mornings are in the low 50s and afternoons in the low 80s. All we need now is some rain.
It's almost guaranteed to rain the first week of November and the risk of rain in October is about three times more likely than September.
My 02 Ram Truck doesn't like the cold mornings. It's having a starting problem now. Turns over fine, but there's no ignition or spark. I have to wait until the gauges register then it starts right up. I talked to my friend that owns a Mopar Dealership and they seemed to think it's the ignition switch. At about $30 I figure it can't hurt to try.
The problem is that I need to tear open the steering column. That's going to be fun.
So today I loaded the 1994 Ram (240K+ miles) with my material and off I went. My 94 has been a really good work buddy. Now I'm not saying my 02 hasn't been, It has just that over 80,000 miles and this is the first thing I've ever had to do to it. So a gremlin here and there is expected. Especially when you figure I start and stop this truck a hundred times a day.
Work is a little better this week, but that's not saying much. I showed up to a remodel yesterday and open the door to find a bunch of wires dangling from the ceilings. The owner just tore the walls down and unhook all of the circuits and left me to figure them all out.
I did of course, but it took me till 3:00 today to finish. I sorta like jobs like that where Time and Material is the word of the day.
Wish that would happen everyday.....
