    If you hadn't said painters tape I'd have thought those were vegan wire nuts

    Couldn’t see it from my house so it must of been ok. The self contained led bulbs must be the culprit.

    Morning.
    Gotta find something to do.
    Think I might sweep the garage and get all the leaves out from the wind storms we have had the past few weeks.
    When your doors face N.E., you don’t keep your door open.

    If anyone is interested, my final thoughts on my remote start.
    For years I constantly took out aftermarket remote starts for various reasons.
    Dead batteries
    Lights flashing
    Starting my themselves
    Check engine lights.
    I never wanted a remote because of these reasons.
    I followed this particular one for 2 years.
    So
    12volt solutions
    100% plug and play
    Long range 2 way remotes and antenna. (Up to a mile they say.)

    AWESOME.

    I took the jeep down the street 1/4 mile, around a corner, and hit the button.
    Got answer back beeps and drove back and the truck was running.
    Inside a store that has no phone signal, No problem.
    I don’t use the factory remote anymore.
    I don’t have the panic option but if I’m going to go to a big venue I’ll just throw the factory one in my pocket
    to help find the truck or just do a point on my map app.
    Small price to pay.

    So FWIW.

    We go and get the “Big Cans” too.
    When they are empty they find their way into the garage for stuff..

    I’m thinking matching suits with skinny ties, and a good horn section. Those cool old microphones :rimshot:

    I'll do same throughout the year. Not the big one, but the smaller one. I get bored of the same coffee after a week or two. Those red and blue plastic containers are awesome for storing "stuff". And they fit a roll of TP perfectly. For camping.

    The TP storage is ideal

    Tackling that wheel well liner realignment/clip redo today. Waiting for it to warm up a bit. The GB is positioned to absorb the morning sun/heat right in that spot. Hoping it'll help it flex more.
