I'll never complain about wiring again after seeing all those bundles of wires, good Lord!
I think the aircraft builders think it is funny to make all the wires white too. I makes it so easy to trace wires hand over hand.
This is from one of the avionics compartments of the OH-58 helicopter I used to work on.
Thats a whole different animal than the car I'm restoring! I can at least see 20+ different colors in the wrapped individual bundles on mine...thats Aviation wiring is just crazy, thats takes some serious patience me and @0patience probably don't have Hahaha

There’s always that section of wire that’s been spliced in but not numbered...or has different numbers....and that’s the ONLY stretch in the 50 wire thick bundle you can see, but not touch.I love my job.
They're individually numbered? If so that can help but OMG what a mess to deal with! Fvck wiring lol

I would have cut the hole bigger with a Sawzall...... Probably why I'm not working on aircraft.

We havee a machine that is computer controlled and the wiring is all white and only numbered on the ends, so when the harness takes abuse and you have t splice it all back together, you have to use an ohm meter to determine what wire are which.

That’s AWG 18 wire. Most circuits are 20 or 22 gage. Bigger the number, smaller diameter wire.
Dime for scale. Try reading that in the middle of a wire bundle in a dark engine bay where the wiring’s been toasted.I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...2 -
OK boss, I can see the wires. Which one's bad?
The white one.
oh

i just had to replace a 3-year-old Leviton switch (5601-2ws) because of the flimsy plastic paddle connectors broke off. The paddle connectors do not stand up to gentle use. Fortunately I replaced it myself instead of having to hire an electrician like some people who don't know how to use a screwdriver.

Charlie wins. He knew what it was but the right answer was just stuck in his brain somewhere, while Edward remembered the time last year when I intended to do the CoQ10/coconut oil mix but only had Tumeric on hand (I remember Edward's tip about adding Peperine to help absorb the Tumeric.
Chris loses because toxic/impacted bowels lead to bad spelling; he needs an enema.

Glad y'all cleared that up. I was going to guess Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, but now I guess I'll just move on.

Since my early 20's I've been a sucker for supplements; buy a bunch, spend lots of dollars, feel no different, run out, don't buy more because I'm cheap, don't feel any worse, think I should start taking them again, spend lots of dollars, feel no different... yada, yada... but some things just make sense and I take them because I think it's the right thing to do. Coenzyme Q10 is one of them.

I've been put in charge of bringing an old Shopko buildings hvac system up to par so a new store can lease it. This includes invoicing and quoting these repairs... Everything is 22 years and has seen better days. The building's system must be in safe working order to finalize contract. 14 roof top units including 12 exhaust fans and 1 split system. It's been a challenge to put it lightly.

I'd get a guote on complete replacement of a unit that old.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

They will only replace 2

I am surprised they didn't say **** it and tear the building down.

Drove a used 2020 2SS 10 speed today, finally! The car moves and is quick but something just doesn't feel right about it...maybe because it's missing a pedal and as far as peddle shifters...what a fvcking joke. Looking hard now for one with a TR-6060 so I can bang me some gearz!!!

Took a week’s vacation that started Thursday to get some much needed stuff done at the north 40. It started raining Thursday morning and hasn’t stopped. Can’t get anything outside done up there or at home....may as well have gone to work & saved the vacation hours....

So, to be fair to the dogs I've started working from the glass outdoor table on my Man Patio out back instead of from my workbench in the garage to lessen their separation anxiety when I want to smoke--they've become real wimps since I've been working from home, howling when I go upstairs to take a shower--but it's a bit warmer out here and my work laptop has developed a nasty habit of a flickering screen when it gets too warm. I've got a fan on it now which mitigates the effect somewhat, and I can turn down the display brightness, but that just makes it hard to see the monitor through all the backyard glare.
At least the dogs are happier.
I do have to drag the extra monitor in from the back yard at the end of each day, though and my Wife is sure to notice that I've taken over yet more of the house.
