Resistor Removed - Sure was hot

I picked a good day to remove the resistor. 103 degrees outside in the shade so I figure in the metal building it was close to 112 and without a breeze or fan.

Everything went smoothly so after I got the old wire removed and the new one hooked up I figured I better check it out and see if the SA started. Pulled the ignition switch on and then pushed the starter button on the starter and it didnt make a sound. I figured I didnt have the wires on there good so I checked it again but they all checked out fine. I stood right there beside the battery box and pulled the ignition switch on and then pushed the starter button, again NOTHING, not a sound.

I thought for a second of what I did wrong then I looked at the battery box. I had to just bust out laughing because I had'nt replaced the battery. I may not have a degree like John T but even I know you have to have a battery in there. Started right up after that little error with the battery. LOL

Better than forgetting to replace the filter drain plug and firing up the engine. Pump put a gallon of oil on the shop floor in seconds.

When my son was a teenager and he sure was strong. First oil change. I told him to get the filter as tight as he could(meaning by hand) He used the band wrench and crushed that sucker so much it wouldn't hold oil. Six quarts is a very big puddle. My fault.
 
My favorite trick in that department is to forget to check to make sure the old gasket came out with the filter.

A feller'd think that two gaskets would be better than one...
 
Had that very thing happen just a few weeks back on the Stratus. Wouldn't ya know, the first time in a long time that I didn't think to check was the first time in a longer time that it came away. I thought the new one was a bit smarmy goin' on, and caught it. Whew!
 
That reminds me of an engine that got rebuilt twice. First time was due to just being wore out, second time was Dads hurriedness to get it back together.I was surpised though, even with just some assembly lube, the engine ran for about 10 minutes before she locked up. You guessed it, no plug.
