    Driver side seat heater burned out last fall, finally had a chance to go to the stealership to have it fixed. They replaced the whole assembly (at over $500 CAD), even though only the amp and connector were burned out.

    Thread revival!

    Going to start advertising my side-hustle business soon. Looking to teach wilderness survival skills, and hands-on introduction to small game hunting, trapping and archery.

    In the meantime, ice is on the lakes, it will soon be time to ice fish!
