Naked_Cowboy 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Did i miss it or have we already covered the beer and boobs aspects of everyone's weekends?Bizzle: I'm strongly considering not playing online this week as I'm on some slight negative variance and I don't want it to affect my head since I fly to vegas Saturday. Good idea or bad? Should I be playing to stay sharp or letting my brain rest a little so I'm refreshed when I hit the razz event? (I'll still be playing at my home game thursday because I think I could play blind and still win). Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Just to add to the overwhelming joy of my day so far...Over the weekend, my volts gauge started dropping to the point where the battery light popped on. I'm thinking "Not Good", and vow to keep an eye on the meter and take it to Autozone on Monday (today) to have the alternator tested, see what the problem is. Took the truck to Autozone, he ran the test, and told me that my alternator is currently generating about 7 amps of current. I asked him what it would normally be putting out if it was functioning properly, and he told me "eh, about 100 amps". He also told me that the truck was pretty obviously only running off the battery, which had lost a lot of charge during the test (to test a battery and alternator, they put a load on the battery, thus decreasing its charge to see how the alternator fares in recharging the battery). Fuck. Bought a new alternator (bye-bye $130) and pleged to myself to install it tonight once I get home to my driveway and tools and 120 degree heat in the shade. Got into the truck and turned the key. Chug...chug...chug...*start*..."FUCK!!! (the last part was the driver, not the truck). Now I'm driving down one of the busier streets in Rochester in the middle of lunch hour traffic. Driving with both feet because I'm constantly shifting an automatic transmission between Drive and Neutral to keep the revs up and thus keep my 7 amp alternator charging the battery as much as possible. The gauges are all flatlined at this point (except for the trusty volts gauge which is still desperately trying to get my attention) and none of the indicators are working (ie: no turn signals) as the truck tries to squeeze every last breath of juice out of the battery to keep the engine firing. I finally limp the truck into the parking lot at my job, and try to park as strategically as possible to give myself a chance at finding an outside outlet to hook my battery charger up and hopefully get home tonight. Silent pat on the back for myself for always having a battery charger and jumper cables in the truck, just in case. I decide to park in the old service area (where the company used to install cell phones in peoples cars, something we don't do anymore) and shut the truck down. Miraculously, I find an outlet within 30 feet of my parking spot. Go me. Only problem was, the battery charger only has a 6 foot power cable and my boy-scout ass never thought about packing an extension cord (this part was Matt's favorite, no doubt). Great, time to scour the building for creative ways to get power to the little truck that could."Procured" (stole) a 20 foot extension cord from the conference room that never gets used, plugged it into the outside outlet, and ran it over to the truck. Elementary Math now folks, how much good is a 20 foot extension cord and a 6 foot power cord going to do in briding a 30 foot gap? Not much, 4 feet short. Back into the office to "Procure" (steal) one of my power strips from under my desk. Bridge gapped, power successfully run from the building to the truck. Its charging now, hopefully there will be enough juice in the battery to get me home in a few hours. Then its just a simple matter of teaching myself how to change an alternator...in 100 degree heat. I have no doubts that I'll go outside in a couple hours to find that the battery charger and/or brand new alternator have been stolen, it's been that kind of day thusfar.

Seems to be working, I just checked the battery and it's already up to the level I started the day at. Maybe I'll be able to get out of this after all...assuming I can figure out the whole alternator-changing part. Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 If anyone missed it, this actually was pretty funny. From Lance Armstrong's monologue:"France made it to the semi-finals of the World Cup.
