[left]the rain let up a bit today, I got board out of my goard.
I went out and checked the glove box and found all my papers soaking wet. so I need to get a peice of rubber stripping to put around the doorway to stop the entering of water. and I will have to get zip lock bags to keep every thing in from here on in...
I brought the papers in and hope to dry them out, if not I will get new ones.
I found my fuse link and a couple 5 amp fuses so that I can install it on fryday when the rain is over. I found me an old pill bottle to store my spare fuse in, and I am going to use velcrow to stick it near the fuse link. [/left] [center]

I went to the toy store and fund me a fire extinguisher for under 10 dollars, Picked up me a peice of that quarter inch thick walled pvc to use as a protective contaner and mount for the extinguisher. I am designing it now and have half of it cut already. "the busines end" now I have to figure what I want to use to hold it in place. gravity will do most of the work. It cant fall out the bottom, but should by some freek of horse power my tinker truck pulls some massive G's it could could fly up out of the holder, and posibly if I hit a good pot hole, it will fly out...
the mount will be zip strapped in several places to prevent ratteling and any movment of the mount.
I am thinking velcro or a strap across the top. As I mentioned earlier it will be mounted on a 45* compound angle so I am thinking that anything less than an impact will be ok. but I realy think I will let it ride up in the truck with me, taking the mount that came with the extinguisher and putting it behind the seat of my truck...
either way I will take pictures and post them here for ya, and any one else who may start having a brain child of thier own. [sly][laugh][cool] [/left] [left]
