Northern Virginia Roll Call

Small world. Helluva drug.

 

Semper Fi! Happy Birthday, jarheads... In Redlands, CA this week with several other Marines that I have known for a long time. We did a makeshift cake ceremony at the bar tonight...they gave us a giant cheesecake slice on the house, so we identified our "guest of honor", the oldest (me) and youngest Marine present, then proceeded to confuse the absolute shit out of the rest of the bar having our own mini cake cutting ceremony. It...was awesome. @EagleUSMCRet @Tiny's Taco @virginiamarine @Demo man @VooDooBob

It's veterans day. Thank you to those who served

Even got the bus sign going

 

I need some Google-fu. I'm looking for wiring connectors. Plugs or whatever. I'm looking for a style where one end is one solid connector. Like 8 pins let's say. But multiple plugs from the other end can connect. Such as you plug in a 2-pin connector for one component, and you still have six pins left. You plug in another two or three-pin connector. And you can remove the plugs individually. Does this make sense? I did some looking but wasn't sure what to call something like this. I did stacked connector, and something else, but nothing really came up. Doesn't have to be a pigtail, I can make the stuff myself.

 

Sounds sorta like a firewall bulkhead connector. Like this? I assume one side of your connection will be mounted to something.

Ha! I actually have that saved as a possible solution, but I need something that a little more OEM looking.

 

That actually might work. It came up as a result, but it was a sponsored result and that kind of stuff is blocked. More research I will do. Thank you.

 

Maybe spoke too soon. It's real close and I could get it to work. Smaller would be nice. Like 8-10 pin. But you've set me on the right track.

My first thought was what I see some of the LS swap wiring harnesses look like, or maybe it's the Haltech harnesses, or something in that realm. It's a nice bulkhead connector that you plug multiple things into but I can't find the exact thing I'm thinking of.

 

That's my issue. I don't know the proper terminology. What I'm doing is wiring up aftermarket power windows. I'm only running one power and ground circuit (possibly two each) to where the switches are. The relays need these and the switches need power. I could cobble it all together and solder, but switches and relays die so there's chance I would need to unplug stuff for replacement. So I thought if I could find a block or whatever I could jump the power and ground where needed on the side of the plug that's not going anywhere then plug three or so plugs into it from the switches and relays. What you linked to would work, but it's overkill for what I need and I'm not sure I have the room for it where the wiring will be terminated. I'll add it to my list of possibilities and keep looking. Of course it's backordered.

 

Thank you. While doing my own research they popped up quite a bit.

 

Any hockey fans in here? I'll be coming up from the holler for the Avalanche game

 

I'm not an uber-fan, but I dig it.

 

We've got a local team down here with a super enthusiastic fan base, and the team is pretty good. So that definitely helps keep you interested. Itll ve my first NHL game and one of the few exceptions I'll come North of I-64

 

The arena is a good time. We go as much as we can. Caps have a good fan base. It won't be as crazy as when they play the Penguins, but still a fun experience.

We have the Hershey Bears that are a ways away, but the lower level games are way better than the pros. It's paid beer league players!

 

I think with the Avs being last years Cup winners, Im hoping for it being a crazy game. And YES! We have the SPHL Roanoke Railyard Dawgs and we are only 20 minutes from where they play. We got ice level seats last game and it was good. My wife and I bought partial season tickets and are pretty dedicated

 

Something like this?.
