Todd... now you finally get to use the 4wd on the suburban...

Sparky, like I said, not too impressed myself. I just needed brighter ones. Ill show some pics tonight when its dark.

Space... "come out and play" how are ya?

Ryan, yeah, im the only person here qualified to do my job and she wont even let, e do that without being down my back.
the whole reason I was denied my raise is that I didn't train enough to help her out, but
1 if I ask her a question, she replies. "It don't concern you"
2 I bend over backwards including getting in her face to offer help and get declined the offer because "she's way too busy to show me what needs to be done"

I think paralell... I wired all of the hot together, then soldered them to the resistor. The grounds, I soldered all together.

Well, I just tried series wiring them and that pissed me off more than 1 light per socket. Stupid directional leds...

I just put the stock bulbs in and just learned in the process of that, they are 194 bulbs and they makered led replacement bulbs sold at auto zone... anyone know anything about those?

I had a decent evening other than that.

Well made it over the mountain safely and got a lot done in preparation of my grandpa's service.

Ryan, my grandpa passed away on October 20th after a long battle with cancer. We were sad to lose him, but he is in a better place now.

Augi, had to drive my parents 2001 Chevy Silverado over the mountain. They were calling for a blizzard and I am not confident in my mud tires ability to handle packed snow and ice yet. It ended up being a simple drive over with just packed snow and only snowed hard a few times. Hoping this is snow back home when I get back sunday.

I get to replace the battery in my Grandpa's 1979 El Camino tomorrow and drive it around. It needs work and my Uncle really wanted it so he is keeping it in the family and will fix it up.
