I'll have to look at it at home. Work comp won't let me look at the link.

I did see some on ebay for $299 (04-08 f150 5.5) refurb.

 

yea they are refurb, for 279-299 depending on bed length

 

Back to work.

 

It looks like it's going to rain, but I am going to wash my truck regardless. It is completely brown from all the gunk on the roads. We have had a soupy mess instead of rain and it causes all the gunk to splatter all over the vehicles. I need to take a pic. It's sad.

 

I know. I have to try really hard not to get dirty when reaching across the tailgate.

 

Well, got her all cleaned up. That is the dirtiest the truck has ever been. The car was wand just knocked the top layer off. The tires looked really weird before I started. They were tan with raised black letters.

 

I just took out the crapped out over the range microwave and replaced it with a bigger, better GE over the range microwave unit. I had to add an electrical outlet in the wall, do a bunch of fitting and drilling, and now it's up and running. It's my wife and mine's Christmas present to each other.

I also bought my Dad a rollaround tool box from Lowes for Christmas. My Dad has a side business where he makes military ribbon and medal bars. He makes a lot of money at it, but he has all his stuff in multiple boxes and containers. I bought the rollaround and added a wood top to it so he can use it as a portable workbench in the house, in the garage, wherever. He can mount his small vise on it to do his small tasks and drilling. He's going to be happy.

My Father in law has been borrowing my Rigid shop vac and he likes it, so I bought him an identical one for Christmas.

 

Sounds as if you had a good day. Those are nice, very useful gifts!

 

Yep. The OT is paying off for the family.

 

Just noticed something. The new microwave is on the same circuit as the living room. When the TV, receiver, ceiling fan and lights are on when the microwave is on the lights dim in the living room. I think I need to do something about this, just don't know what.

 

Sounds as if you could be close to an overload.
