Any idea how it gets wired in to the turn signal circuit?

This was yesterday.

I don't work on Fridays, so I drove into town to eat breakfast and go to the hardware store to buy a socket to replace the one I lost. It was a nice dreary morning and slightly cooler than usual. I was OK with that.

I got to kinda hang out with all of the retired old men that meet at McDonalds every morning. I'm younger and only semi-retired, though, lol.

Then it was off to the hardware store and the perfect place to park was located. :D

Before going into the hardware store, I walked to the other side of the strip mall or whatever it's called to visit a couple other stores and a weird thing happened. I was buying three Hot Wheels cars in the dollar store and was standing in line at the register. The woman in front of me stepped towards me, said something, but I didn't understand because she was wearing a mask, and hands me a 5 dollar bill. I was kinda stunned and usually always have something to say, but this time I didn't. I guess she wanted to buy the Hot Wheels for me. It was a weird moment.

The yellow Morris is a Treasure Hunt, I couldn't resist getting it. My Dad had a 1960 Morris Minor back in the 1980s. A fellow employee at work likes the George Barris Batmobile as much as I do, so I bought one for each of us.

Then I got the socket at the hardware store and it was time to go back home.

Bonus story! I drove out to Athens, GA earlier this week on business and saw at least 10 Rangers in traffic. That's a record number for me. I was in my company vehicle, though. (2022 F-150)

Bonus picture! This picture was made two days ago when I was out on business in Kennesaw, GA.

I admired his parking skills and it looked like he really likes and takes good care of his truck. The STX looks really good in silver.

I gotta know Scott. The socket you were buying, was it a 10mm?

lol! :D

Nah, 1/2" drive, 3/4" 12 point.

I'm on my 3rd or maybe 4th one in the past 35 years.

I don't work on a lot of metric stuff, so the 3/4" socket must be my 10 mm, so to speak.

HI Folks,

Drove to Flagstaff today after two weeks in Michigan before returning to HOT Green Valley 100 in GV and 67 degrees here in Flag.

Tito did well...tons of photographs when we let him walk around at rest areas.

So now for cooler temps...

Best,
Phil

Drove from Toronto to Hilton Head Island SC, I got 23.5 MPG with a Tremor so quite happy with that result, had it at 75MPH all the way
Welcome to the Lowcountry! Enjoy the warm weather and beach. Hopefully it won’t rain much!

the webpage did not say but im assuming they have people tap into the side marker below it with a relay in line. so the factory wires for the side marker are the trigger wire for the relay. but that is just a guess. it would be nice if they send the item with a plug and play harness set up.

Thanks I love coming here, HHI is awesome, but I like cruising around the Lowcountry, very cool area. Golf is off the hook good as well. You always run the risk of some rain towards the end of Aug, but luckily there hasn't been much marine weather so far this year to deal with

I loaded EVERYTHING into the back of my Ranger and then met David ( @subquark ) for coffee.

Dang what happened? Did David @subquark finally run out of things to buy for his Ranger so now he's buying your household stuff? Even the kitchen sink! :facepalm: ?
