I hear what you are saying Micah
I keep trying to make friends with it, but it was neglected by it's PO and is now testing my patience, not too mention my pocket book.
Actually, in this case, it isn't "free" labour as I have already done ALL that stuff.
But I know that the "easy" way rarely is, one slip is all it would take to add a new rad to the already too long list of parts that have been replaced.

"Red" was supposed to a replacement for my turtle, but has demanded more "attention" in 2 years, than it's little brother has in 8.
If this were the LAST thing on the list, it wouldn't be so bad, but I fear the forecast is just more of the same, at least in the near future.

At least the weather is cooperating.

And I am STILL waiting for her to start showing some love back!
