Howdy all, guess what time it is?? That's right, it's time for the third and (hopefully) final season on your (least) favorite reality show...The Gauntlet!! I'm Johnny, and frankly, I'm the only one of the staff left here to produce the show, so the budget basically consists of my dollar menu lunch money, a 10% off coupon from O'Reilly, and the returnables from last night!! So, without further delay, let's bring the newbies up to speed!!!...
When last we left our heroes, Steve was off in the middle of Canada tending to a faulty water supply, Rani had gotten herself all but hitched, and cosgig??? Well, you could say he's movin' slower than a bill in Congress!! But all that's about to change!! See, at the cosgig camp, there's sumpthin stirring in the garage, and it ain't the 3 blind mice!! Yep, old cos has gotten the train over the mountain and is headed for the station!! Here's the progress....
(1) Dash is in, minor setback cleaning all of the mounting points due to no ground! Dash frame powder coated!!
(2) Heater box installed and all hooked up
(3) everything is mounted and the car has been started and runs, all lights work except.....
The dash lights!! The only light that lights up on the dash is the right hand turn signal indicator lamp! The light switch is gravelly when you turn it to the right to brighten the interior lights (which don't work either), so I am going to replace the switch! If that doesn't help, I'm going to remove the dash and take it to a friends to troubleshoot it on the bench!!
The front glass is still out, and just needs to be installed, so as soon as this dash light issue is resolved, the glass can go in and the rest of the trim!!
So, why the big flurry of activity now?? Well, besides the fact that it just needs to get done, in true reality show form, there is a shocker ending to this season, and this show!! I'll give you a hint, but won't reveal the ending until it has been filmed!! That's right folks, the end of the show will be videotaped, and will knock your socks off!! Let's just say that it has been 16 years in the making!!
Tune in next week when either the dash comes out or someone turns on the lights!! Johnny....OUT!!
