- I like his cabinet picks.
- I like that he tweaks the social justice / political correctness crowd.
- I still think he's a swine and wish Ted Cruz had won, but what are you going to do?
With that out of the way, let's talk about something really important - rewiring an MGB. I'm taking the week off and trying to knock this sucker our. To refresh, I've got a 1973 MGB that I've had for about 30 years. Its wiring harness rotted out and instead of buying a replacement, I'm running the wires myself, changing connector types, modernizing things and upgrading in general. It's been a beast of a job.
I've ripped out all of the wires in the cockpit again. This will be my third go around at the cockpit, but I'm really confident now. Instead of running a single trunk line, I'm running five, according to the connectors on the steering column and the instrument panel. They break down as follows.
- Headlights and running lights
- Turn signals
- Windshield wipers
- Ignition
- Assorted instruments, radio and power
The first four correspond to connectors coming off the steering column and switches. The last is a catch-all. I'm breaking them apart to minimize risks. If I monumentally screw up something, I've only wrecked a single trunk line and can replace it much more easily than if I ran everything together. I just finished the first and am enjoying a Stone Ruination double IPA to celebrate. As soon as I post this and deal with a few odds and ends in the house, I'll go back and try to knock out the ignition wiring.

My versions of what I like about Trump...
1. Ditto
2. Ditto except that I like that he's tweaking the media by tweeting (they can't take stuff out of context since it is there for all the world to see).
3. Ditto except John Kasich.
I really need to pull my dashboard and take the windshield out to replace the seals.
Of course I won't see the cAr for at least 2 months
