I guess I need to write something down this month.
It's been busy that last week or so at work. That's much different than it has been for the last 2 years.
Of course it was due to a foreclosure of a property with the last owners destroying the building electrical system when they left.
Took me the last week and a half to get it all running again, but it did help that we were the original installers of the wiring when the building was new.
This was back about 10 years ago and I worked for a company then. It wasn't my job to run, but I was there enough to remember much of what went where.
Funny that I can't recall where I just set my car keys, but I can remember certain wires, conduits and panels on a building over a decade ago.
Being that the main system was 480volts the new owner thought it would be best to bring me in before anyone walked the property.
With the amount of open wires, it probably saved a life.

I have the El Camino at the house now. No money to start anything on it, but I do need to get down and buy a Battery this week and try to get some oil pumped up over the top end of the engine and see what the Valve Stem Seal status is.
Pretty straight forward car, but I know nothing about Chevys. Being a Mopar Guy this looks all Greek to me.
I also dislike the fact that GM painted their engine compartments black. Looks second rate to me. Mopars were body color top bottom and anywhere else they could get the spray gun. I like that. Looks uniform.
The vehicle holds a special place to me, so I need to learn everything I can about it. It will be in the family for along time to come.
