    @lkapigian - great acknowledgment right there.  Did you know you were "the lead dog?"
    Now to weld it on.  
    I did , the original I ordered was an LP Tank Conversion , there was at least a year delay from that but they never told mey why until the final steps , After they brought this out, they pre-sold over 500 and is why they moved to Houston .To date, I don't think they have shipped 50 of those 500, but the process is speeding up....I am glad the got my Trailer Build done in a reasnable time

    No surprise here with your troubleshooting abilities.  Way to stay after it and get it fixed. 

    Thanks! Honestly just a little luck and a whole lot of desperation!

    More of what I did last night. Yesterday wasn’t necessarily a bad day at work but was at minimum mentally and physically taxing. Saw 20 cases plus 10 in house and only had 1 technician and 1 receptionist. 

    Made it home just ahead of the impending storms .. cut all but my reading light off and opened the curtains to watch the lightning and started reading “ All Hell Broke Loose”. It’s about the killer blizzard that hit the northern Midwest Nov 11, 1940. Collection of memoirs from the duck hunters that managed to survive the storm. Wrong time of year but was too busy this past winter .. and figured better late than never.

    @DuckDogDr where do you hunt? I'm a GA duck hunter who occasionally gets to hunt in western TN. May be headed to Oregon this winter with the kid's school principal. Just curious. From a long line of southeastern duck hunters. 
    Fish, Hunt, Cook....anything else?

    I have a local swamp and then 2 camps in Arkansas (one northern central and one south central).
    Member of a club in Louisiana but it hasn’t done well the past 3 years. I’m giving it this year and then will see how I feel after season.

    I usually spend a week with my buddy in Washington state hunting the Columbia river. 
    It’s beautiful out there and always a good time . I definitely encourage you to hunt in Oregon beautiful scenery and weather. There’s a subspecies of Specklebelly out there you may get lucky and harvest.
    I’ve gotten my girlfriend into it a little bit and we usually take a 3-4 day trip somewhere together once a season to wherever. One of my spearfishing buddies is in a camp at Reelfoot . We’re tentatively planning a trip there at the end of the season

    We win today. Not sure if it's completely true but I saw a blurb that said we are at the worst air quality in the United States today.

    You sure this isn’t all just from you running your BGE with the vent cap off?

    It was good. Inspector was telling trainee that this will be the easiest inspection she does. We're the gold standard for our county. So that was good.  They're not doing their job if you don't get written up for something.

    Trying to install some HID headlights in the Tacoma .
    Had the driver side high beam burn out about 9 months ago and kept forgetting to replace.

    have a question for the brain trust / need help

    all of the lights work except for driver high beam (even new lights).. tried multiple lights and swapped around all ballasts…
    I put in an original factory bulb it works (and is repeatable test) I initially thought a bad connection and just got lucky with OE bulb , but then try and put in the different light nothing
    My vote is a grounding issue.  HID are very sensitive to grounding.  Regular bulb may still work, but HID won't.
    this..many of those ballasts have defects..or the cars computer  is rejecting an electrical signal..

    Would a different brand potentially be better or do I’m assuming I need to chase down and re-do the ground

    Zooming around the forum.  It's like a treasure hunt. Zoom from corner to corner making new discoveries. I don't like it. It is too much work.

    On Friday a new law goes into effect in Michigan. No more having a phone in your hand while driving. I guess we are the 26th state to do this. That's when I get most of my work done!

    Lol that’s funny. We have the same law in GA, there are more people on their phone while driving than not. The cops could not care less in our area. Some people are simply not able to separate from their phone for any length of time, regardless of driving or not and it’s only getting worse from here. We need self driving cars asap.
