Heavy metal or all in a day's work

I admit it.  I am a bit shy when it comes to new equipment.  Computers, cameras, electronics in general.  Part of this comes from the early 1980s when personal computers crashed - I mean really crashed - on a regular basis.  Another part comes from so-called owners' manuals or guides which frequently are confusing and sometimes totally useless.  Now, there is the added fun of manufacturers expecting the user to go online to obtain answers to a majority of questions.

Because electronic circuitry is in everything, and companies are more and more profit driven, manuals seem to have less and less useful information.  Fewer pages, less paper, less cost.  So when a person who likes to work on cars goes to the manual to determine how to remove a part, and the manual or online help site says "undo two screws and remove the faulty part", it is laughable.  

Today's blog began when Fred was changing out the "output shaft speed sensor on the rear differential" of the truck.  It was only one bolt that took a mirror and contortionist-like effort to remove.  For me, the quick job morphed into a photographic study of metal.

until next Monday,
