Yeah OK so it's been another month since my last post. Argh.

A rat or some other nasty rodent type creature destroyed the main engine wiring harness on my Magnum. Pissed doesn't even begin to cover it. I'm not even going to tell you what a new harness costs, but suffice it to say that my comp. insurance deductible is all I'm paying. Five hours later and a couple days of stiff- and sore-ness, its nearly all fixed. At least it runs and drives like normal now! Just have one O2 sensor wire to repair and it'll be good as new.

But WTF is up with Dodge and these dopey little safety clip things on each connector? I'd have had it done a lot sooner if not for fighting those things. Imagine a little tiny tab you have to move just right to get the clip to unlock, and most of them are in hard to reach places. Yeah, it's kind of like that.

Gotta say I'm not liking the electronic throttle on this thing though. Had the car had a conventional accelerator cable, I'd probably at least have been able to drive it. But getting in, stomping the gas, and nothing happening... its a little disconcerting.

So I had to get the Pontiac out of storage for the year a bit early, and risk the thing getting hailed on. Not a fun thought after the last time, and the money and time that went into getting it back to show condition. Then the wiper switch craps out on me, so yay for me having to find a working 27-year old part. Whoo. Sigh.

What else? Not much really. Launched ScifiReview.com. Yeah its an Amazon affiliate site. Hopefully it gets some page views. I had the domain, and no time (or cash) to put into what I'd like to see from it, so there it is.

Also redesigned The Youth's Companion Project site. I've got a lot more issues to get scanned and uploaded, so I figured putting the whole thing into a blog (yay for serendipity!) engine and a coppermine gallery was the way to go.

Stay tuned for another post, sometime this year. snicker.
