So it's been a few weeks...
Yeah, it's been a bit since I posted, so I thought I probably ought to before I just don't anymore. Wouldn't that be a shame...
In the few weeks since I've written here, not a lot has happened. Still just sitting around waiting to go back to work. As much as I still want to work for the people I do, I'm going to be having to get a different job if they don't have work soon.
My power windows stopped working on the car. While this would have been mildly annoying at worst, it happened with my drivers side window in the down position. Gave it a new relay for the windows and a new window control switch, neither of which helped. Using my voltmeter I confirmed there is still voltage going to the window switch, so I'm not real sure whats going on. As plastic bags just flap in the breeze and make noise and are generally not very see-thru, I fashioned up a window out of plexi-glass. Fits almost perfect, but if I go above 55-ish, the air pressure pulls the top of the plexi-window out so it flaps in the breeze. Strategic Velcro placement didnt even help, but a bit of duct tape over a small air inlet at the front of the window has so far. Pics of this contraption soon.
This past Sunday, being the first of the month, was another get together for the West side MIVE folks, so I went to that. Took some pictures. Afterward I drove out to Grand Haven to the lake, where I took some more pictures.
Actually, I think I'll leave you with a pic or 2.
