Ray, I'm a 30 year old businessman, I have 3 small kids, and I'm priviledged to have a wife who is a stay at home mom. My day starts at 5:30 when I go out and do chores (horses), I'm at work by 6:30 and usually can be found there until 6pm. That's unless I'm gone on an ambulance call. See, I'm also the ambulance director in our town. Both our vehicles have well over 100,000 miles on them. The thing is, I own them, they don't own me. If I have to repair them, oh well, still cheaper than 6 yrs of a new car payment, higher licence, and higher insurance. I was married young and moved to a bigger city. I did the new car thing, the credit card thing, and lived well beyond my means. When we started having kids, we moved back to the small town area we grew up in, and have never regretted it. So what if I have to work alittle harder to bring home enough money to make ends meet. I love the fact that any given day one of my boys is sitting on a stool next to me and grampa at the shop watching us work,talkin up a storm. So, friend, please don't call people lazy or stupid because of the car they drive. None of us are lazy or stupid because we have a couple old tractors around. Sorry for rambling but this one hit where it hurt Brokenwrench

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
