Glad this week is over
I had one of those weeks where nothing went right. Our piece of shit Lucent AP-500 lost it's configuration, and resisted all attempts at reconfiguring it. We replaced it, but the new access…
Damn dirty grounds!
Last weekend with some help I managed to transplant my Verde's motor into my new Verde. I also decided to relocate the battery to the trunk. I spent all night Thursday finishing up various…

It's the little things
For the longest time I had some things that were seriously wrong with my Milano. In the 3 years I've owned it, I've managed to tackle all the most severe issues. A 100+ hours of MIG welding…
