September 13, 201510 yr I missed Sunday school snacks Over slept to make it to the service in time,I am going to try to make it to tonight's service my phone is getting blowed up wondering where I am!
September 13, 201510 yr How we do it down here..lol Mullets went out of style down here finally cut mine off yesterday!..lol
September 13, 201510 yr Anyone have any recommendations for diodes? I want to provide a switch to power my carputer but not fire up the rest of the car. Figure if I directionally isolate the incoming power that is off the ignition then I can just add a direct switched wire to the battery. I know I can just buy a diode off Amazon and wire it in, but thought maybe there was a prettier solution from a wiring perspective.
September 13, 201510 yr That is how it switches on now. Sucks for troubleshooting since I have to start the car or put it on accessory. I'd like a switch I can just flip to turn it on, but don't want to power the whole accessory power chain in the car.
September 13, 201510 yr I see now. You don't want it to backfeed. Any diode that can handle the current should work. Personally, I'd find a small switch with a set of NO,and NC contacts,so when you switch it, it open the circuit which elimnates the need for a diode and assures the circuit is open.

Nice. That eliminates me accidentally keeping it on too.

September 14, 201510 yr If I use a SPDT switch then the computer will either be powered on 100% of the time or by the retained accessory power. The only time I'll use the switch is when the car is off. This way to shut it off I have to throw the switch so it'll go back to the RAP power. It is just the "remote" on I am toggling, not the actual power. That is connected 100% of the time.
September 14, 20159 yr Sean this is the only picture I was sent from the steam show. This is my pap who is 97 years young on his tractor and my uncle behind him. I hope when I am 97 I can do what he does.
September 15, 20159 yr Walking at 97 would be great. We just buried my Great Aunt this week. She was more of a grandma than an Aunt. Made it to 102 though which is nutso. At 97 she also was mobile. Still mowed her own lawn at that point. We miss you Audre!

Believe it or not before he started shrinking he was 6'11" and had to duck walking through normal doors.
