Cool Heat & 'Lectricity

I feel your pain .

I never fail to be appalled at all the extra wiring so many add instead of repairing the perfectly good designed for the job wires.....

When my son was 18 or so he kyped my saved pair if vintage HELLA fog lamps for his VW Beetle, told me he was planning to use a relay, I mentioned that if he wired the ground path of the relay to the high beams the fog lamps would automatically go out when he switched to high beams....

He did that and really liked it, slid out in the snow a week later and smashed the lamps I'd been saving for 35 years...... .

Oh well, what's the point of having if you're not going to use, right ? .

The last week the temps have been 104* ~ 111* in the shade, before noon .

At least it's a dry heat and yes, there's a HUGE difference, especially if you're old and fat like I am .

Interestingly, I'm getting acclimated to the heat again, I didn't think that possible .
