1970 El Camino Dash Lights…

The swept dashboard instrument cluster light brightness seemed to be on the dim side. I removed the upper Dash pad to access the 194 bulbs from the rear. I replaced all of the bulbs and the intensity didn’t seem to increase much, especially in the center area of the instrument panel. 

Tip, if you’re needing the same multiple bulbs for a project. You can purchase them bulk at your local auto parts store. This is a huge savings. In my case buying the packages would cost $30 for 10, I was able to get 10 pieces for $8 bucks. That’s a big savings. 

I even tried using the LED equivalent version, that made no difference at all.

Westbank Mississippi…

One of our traditions while visiting NOLA during the Independence Day Celebration festivities is going to the Westbank of the Mississippi to a place called the Algiers. We can see the dueling barges fireworks from the grassy levee side.

IPhone Sceen and Heat…

Well, my iPhone screen finally popped out on the left side due to the internally battery expanding. I had fallen asleep in the car and the iPhone battery expanded due to the extreme heat. I fell asleep and it could have turned out ugly if I didn’t wake up in time. 

I had it repaired at a local phone repair shop on Magazine street that was recommended by an AT&T employee before I was about to do a phone upgrade. 

The Drive…

Headed out to New Orleans a couple days ago and made into town. We various traffic hiccups but the worst of it was in Baton Rouge where there was a couple of accidents and the 4th of July weekend crowd leaving early off of work and traveling on I

 

Big Easy…

Going to be heading out to New Orleans by car later on today. We’ve driven across the country so many times I’ve lost count. I’m still not certain the route to take but leaning towards cutting through I-10 and long ass Texas.
