    Wife is mowing wet grass. She's feeling much better and her red blood cells count was back in the normal range 12-15 with a increase from previous week.
    13.3 now! So happy She's feeling better. She's even trying to eat healthier and going on evening walks.

    The switch is wrong for this application. The "0" completes the circuit. The "1" opens the loop .

    But in this case the "0" is off.

    Was there not a Hill climb event there I kinda remember something at one time?

    I had to laugh you hike up the mountain dressed in shorts and a mesh tee shirt people driving and the cog railroad are dressed for a winter outing this time of year.

    The wind is pretty calm only about 40 mph

    I pretty much sleep so it never really mattered. This was back in 1989 so things were better

    Flying home every 2 weeks we were evil we would discuss is that fuel leaking or hydraulic fluid.

    Yes indeed I did that many times .That was a very long time ago.

    Then had the valve cover cut in half to help with the oil flying all over mess.

    Had to have the Cool Aluminum valve covers that added 10 horse power

    I have always broke the fastner loose with a 6 point wrench if possible first then used the ratchet wrench.

    Glad to see the wife is doing much better!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Any more I have seen it both ways.

    If you have a switch on the bench no clue where it came from that is why a multimeter is always near at hand.

    When I was young hitting the weights hard I never ate junk food it was not even in the house.

    I think it was a New Years Eve party all kinds of chips and pretzels I just grabbed two big mixing bowls and filled them up.

    Then I was good till the next time months later.

    It’s all about how many calories you’re burning :D. I hope you had some additional layers in your pack- it’s its own climate up there and conditions change on a dime.

    I’ve hiked x many routes, drove multiple times and taken the Cog once. Never raced…

    You’re right though. All sorts of races up the road.

    I know all to well How fast the weather can change.

    I did a traverse of the Presidents in the Winter .(1973) I remember the emergency shelters along the way .

    I had a friend go missing for a few days but it ended well. I was never sure if it was really getting lost or an excuse to shack up for a few days .

    She was a Hottie.

    So, just got the word, my new truck is on the lot, ready for pick-up! :D 3 months, 29 days from order 'til arrival! Not bad! Unfortunately, I was supposed to get a head's up when it left the line, which didn't happen, so I still have to wrap things up with the insurance company which make take a few days, and work next week is NUTS, but... new truck! :D

    I've been really pleased with their stuff! Well made and a reasonable price. Sort of like Craftsman >20 years ago!
