    Just crimped on the terminal for the larger wire. 4 gauge my butt. It's closer to 6. I crimped a 4GA. terminal on and it pulled right off.
    I'll finish the wires on my relay/fuse panel in the next couple days, still messing with my desk somewhat. I'm making a panel so I don't see the back of the computer (wires).

    Panel is finished. Now to start on the wiring stuff. It's amazing what you can accomplish when your not constantly doing stuff for other people.

    Morning everyone.

    Happy hump day.

    First day of "vacation" for me. Have to use the time or lose it. Off from work until next Thursday.

    Good evening CT. Checking some work emails, signing up for the time clock, direct deposit and what not.

    Then I can start wiring the relay box. I already have the wires connected to the box (fuses) for power. I need to connect them to the circuit breaker and start wiring the fog light relay.

    Sure thing, we definitely tried it and really liked it. Sort of a fancy area but could not be more convenient for those that travel by train up to Danbury.

    The new favorite though is Nod Hill (also conveniently located near a train station (Branchville)). We've gone there multiple times now and the beer is great, but the ambiance is also wonderful--warm and cozy and clean.

    And the Hoodoo barbecue place just north of Nod Hill is also incredible.

    So now it's really just a matter of alternating between Newsylum and Nod Hill/Hoodoo—I thought we would get tired of one of them by now but it hasn't happened yet.

    Good morning CT. Happy Friday eve.

    Figured out the stuff for work. Time clock, direct deposit, etc. We use our phones to punch in and out now.

    Still working on the wiring for the added fuses and fog light relay.

    Happy birthday @nickonfire700

    At my job it’s illegal to punch in. No time clocks. If I get up and go to work it’s 8 hours.


    Good morning Harry & CT:hattip:

    I turn in time every Monday morning. Up to me to keep track of me and my crew for hours and what job we are at for the week.
    It’s a union rule, no time clocks.
