It's summer again.

After 4 weeks of high temps and humidity the temp dropped into the 50's with cold rain. Norwich got flooded with over 5 inches of rain. Today it's mid 80's and a lot dryer. I finally got the ambition to attack the panel dimmer in the hot rod. I clipped one of the wires and that took care of the panel lights dimming when I stepped on the brakes. I never did locate the radiator fan switch and it's been hanging down by the steering column all these years. Now with the dimmer rheostat out of the picture I have a spare hole in the dash. The fan switch had failed lately too. I bought another from Radio Shack and moved the wires for more slack and stuck the new switch into the dimmer hole. That should hold it for a few more years.
