Re: Semi work safe
The battery light came on while I was driving home yesterday after not giving me any problems for a week. I got home, popped the hood, and let everything cool down for 1 1/2-2 hours. The engine was warm, but not hot. The alternator was really hot and was painfull to hold for longer than 2 seconds.
How much was it to have your alternator rebuilt? I'm thinking about having my OEM one rewound to keep as a spare.

Re: Semi work safe
Rode the bike to work today with my truck's alternator strapped to my back. The roads were wet, but there wasn't much spray so I only wore the rain coat and not the pants. My only gripe so far is that the cuff velcro is too loose and you can't get the cuffs tight. It's like they built the coat to wear OVER gauntlet style gloves which is retarded because in the rain you would want to wear them under your gloves so water couldn't be forced in.

My wrists are a little on the skinny side, but I have nevr had this problem before. I wonder if my mom's sewing machine is operational. i could move the velcro next time I go back to Buffalo.

Re: Semi work safe
so I'm a little sore,a little headache ... feeling better, i think it was mostly nerves ....
i made a huge protein shake, like a 30 ouncer, whole milk, yogurt, peanut butter, banana, protein powder, and greens powder ... we came to a screeching halt on the highway because the exit was backed up, i looked in the side mirror and heard even louder screeching from behind - i had about 2 seconds to realize the civic behind us was not stopping ....
i saw it coming in hot, so i tensed up - then bam - 30 ounces of banana and peanut butter and milk and protein flying all over the inside of a brand new orange kia rio ....
it went in his vents and everything, **** is gonna stink, i feel bad for having it now lol ... hopefully the kid that hit us has an insurance company that will pay for detailing too ... we tried t clean as much of it up as we could ...
lacey had to bring me clothes to work ... i was covered in it - **** dripped down into my shoe, socks were soaked adn squishing when i walked ...
