I have something for your SN car too that I want to give you. It'll be a cool project when the time comes, nothing big just something I made that helped weight cutting diet for my SN.

Ok, actually did something to the car the other day, had these led lights for the interior and the tag lights. I swapped the mirror for a vert mirror with the lights, I was replacing the headliner so I swapped the harness and mirror from a parts car I have, I've never liked the little square interior light and didn't have one of those fancy pull down spot lights some fox cars have. But it was not very bright and one bulb finally burned out.
Mirror out and ready for disassembly

and the one side removed, a tiny screwdriver in the notch and one side pops out, slide it one way a little and it comes right out, I pulled the connector and bulb out and removed the bulb, you have to plug the connector back in to install the led light
Now the lens has to come off, now be careful, it looks like you stick the tiny screwdriver in the slot in the middle edge of the lens but don't do that, look at the end and you will see where it has a catch, gently push and it will pop right out, after you put the wire connector back on you can stick the led bulb in, I used a needle nosed pliers to push the led light into the connector. Plug the light in to test because if they don't light up you have to turn it, pop the lens back on and hang it back on the windshield and plug in

Yea, it's been a running joke around the house, another user name and password!
The joke comes from when I was 'hunting', the web sites I used, and there where quite a few, were secured and you have to change the password ever couple months, needed a running cheat sheet, I stick the important stuff on a thumb drive now, I will always be suspicious of the interwebs, keep a small footprint.

Yea, it's plug and play, I did some side by side comparisons between the two and the fone wins hands down, I think it's mostly harder to hold the kindel still.

If you want to be reminded how old you are do this:

120' of ditch digging at 20" deep. I have REALLY thick grass too.
i need alcohol, and I really don't drink.
some pipe, glued together of course, three LB's (I don't know why they call them that) and we are inside the building and ready for the electrician.

I hope your not using that irrigation pipe as your electrical conduit... electrical PVC is grey in color.
LB; shaped like an L with the cover on the backside.

Hot damn. After a few decades messing with those that's the best explanation on IDing them anyone's ever given me.

Yeah..And you need to hurry before you're forced to take the pics of that trench down by some Cyber Nazis. You may not know this, but you are working to undermine "the wall" by showing that you can dig under it.
