Doubly PO'd tonight. First I had to replace the 5th dashcam since I bought it after christmas. I don't understand how they can have that bad of quality and stay in business. The first turned on ok and the video worked, but wouldn't loop on the card so after 3 hours it would just stop recording til you cleared the card. So I got a new one. The next one would just shut off if you hit a bump. The third one never worked it just locked on and squealed right from the start. The fourth one worked for a week or so then today would just stop videoing for some reason. Just got the 5th one, got one from a different manufacturer this time. Most are made by Top Dawg and it took a long time to find one made by someone else. Hope this one works better.
Second problem is with a mechanic at the TA truckstop today. Got a trailer with some lighting problems, bout 1/2 the clearance lights don't work sometimes, they kinda blink on when you hit a bump. Took it in to get it fixed and the mechanic looks at it for a sec and says "you need a new cord on the truck". I said why? He says its what is wrong. I said how can that be if half the lights work, obviously the power is getting to the trailer, but isn't making it to the back. He wouldn't even look at it unless I bought a cord for the truck first. So I said forget it I'll fix it myself, I did design and build trailers for over 20 years so I should be able to figure it out. Took about 10 minutes to pull the plug on the trailer apart and fix the loose wire. Oh, the shop charged me $50.00 for the diagnosis.
Guess I'm struggling with some anger issues right now. LOL

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
