    My favorite toy was field phones - hook up some --wire to a metal folding chair and crank slowly. Makes an itch. Then, when it's all quiet, throw one hard crank. That will cause some Tourette's!

    We'd hide caps in desk drawers and filing cabinets. It's all fun and games until you forget where you hid one and hit yourself.

    Progress y'all!! Check it, got the ends terminated on the switch pro bus bar. I received the blue switch panel from switch pro today who graciously swapped the green one I had for a blue one. Got to love that.

    Whole system died last night - spin starting the motor didn't do any good. Had to break down and (*gasp*) open windows. It was 63 this morning, so that was nice.

    Thank Christ it wasn't as hot as was the last time I lost a cap last September. No way I could have made it through a 92 degree night.

    Gonna be making a little trip to Johnson Supply this morning.

    The beautiful weather makes driving the hour back to Spicewood with the window down so great.

    Moonroof opens just fine, though this afternoon I will probably just drop the windows and crank the tunes.
