your HID kit was hard? mine was just a plug and play. it litterally took me more time to take off the plastics than it did to hook it up.

I seriously thought I'd be in for a couple hours of splicing wires and shit... nope... easy as fuck.

the delay on the otherhand I imagine is a splice... but shouldn't be too hard.



oh and...

I'm still at work... but it's slowed down... we had a CMI yesterday so things were fuck'n insane...


oh... CMI= CLASSIFIED MATERIAL INCIDENT... basicly someone didn't follow all the procedures for using the secured network and caused me to have to scan (15mins) every computer I have under me (543)... by noon. (started at 0600... finished at 2000)

I'm up for a while. At the midnight release for Twilight, hoping the tweens wouldn't be allowed out this late on a school night. Silly me, I forgot this is Plano and kids get *whatever* they want. Fookin theater started seating at 930 for the midnight show. I have a seat, popcorn, soda, iPod and headphones, and a book to entertain me until Showtime. Oh, and all the real-live teenage drama I care to eavesdrop on.

I'm here, at least for a little while...until the benedryl kicks in so I can go to sleep.

I've been busy trying to get my kitchen in some semblance of order (I'm still unpacking and rearranging) most of the night.

I have to be at a friend's around 8a.m. to do my forks. This should be fun. It's only going to be 30 freakin' degrees!

It was that combined with me knowing jack shit about electronics, and me making the mistake of tackling all 3 things at once.

The hid kit hooked up easy as cake, but then I took some time to figure out a good place to mount everything. But before doing that I then took time to figure out how to install my delay which had instructions well beyond my basic understanding. I knew where and how it needed to be installed, but the labeling on the output wiring was incomprehensible.

Before that I did my tail light modulator and after no luck, I looked over some wiring diagrams and realized that I had tapped into the wrong line. :facepalm:
So then I went back and fixed that.

All of this stuff in between cooking, cleaning and caring for my mom who is recovering from an operation. It is sort of convenient to have the bike in the living room, because she is spending most of the time on the couch about 2 feet away.

At any rate, she is all hooked up and put back together. I took things real slow tonight and spent most of my time watching tv. Nice relaxing night.
