I'm pretty sure this paragraph was written for my benefit.  :)  

Wiring it seems like a good idea, I will have to try that once my finger heals up a bit.  Also I am going to be more careful about putti8ng gloves on.

On another note, I just got a call from the ci8ty.  Seems a ne8ighbor complaned about the car that had been on jackis "for a month."  I started the project on Saturday-3 days now.  Because of the stupid ne8ighbor, my tax dollars went toward a code guy dri8vi8ng by my house and w8ill go toward the city send8ing me a cert8if8ied letter that *I wll have to wai8t i8n line for at the post off8ice because *I won't be home when 8it 8is del8ivered.

Awesome.  *I love my ne8ighbors.

I plan to taie off the bandage later ton8ight...
