There are silver linings indeed. Spending more time with my 3 yr old grand daughter than I ever thought I would. We are playing daycare four days a week. Never played so much barbie or Hide and seek in my life. Even have an indoor swing, and that thing does NOT swing itself. Also have her earning her keep in the shop. Doing her part sanding the air cleaner bolt cup washers. F495BC45-70B6-4744-9B6E-545B7CC5E79E.MOV

I'm sorry. They are in our prayers.... praying a lot lately.

I have little excuse to procrastinate on my wife’s honey-do list! ?

Progress today. Cup washers are back from the plater. Look good to me! Now I have to go buy more plumbing rubber washers to complete them. By “go out” I of course mean, order on line. I found some at Ukrainian Tire. Coming next week. Never ordered anything from CDN Tire. usually it’s a reason to go out for a look-see, like Princess Auto or Harbour Freight....

While we are on a Covid theme,

That was the first thing I thought when I saw a Captain of an aircraft carrier had made his letter public, the Navy is going to teach him a lesson and file him in some closet. But he did the right thing and I'm sure he knew he was destroying his own career but it certainly saved the lives of a lot of his men. Sounds like a good guy.

Gregg Allman & Redd Foxx on Letterman. HILARIOUS clip. Watch Redd follow Gregg's cigar thinking he's passing it television! I learned how to clip videos! Gregg Allman (and Redd Foxx) on Letterman_ November 18_ 1987 6m32s - 6m48s (KsmVYw8gd5c) 2401.mp4

Naked mole rat cam... Hmm... seems like me right now stuck in the house and only allowed to go to certain places.

Good story, but the actors seem a little stilted. ? Dennis

Woot!

Very true, a little taste of mortality certainly puts things into perspective and what is truly important. The old "slow down and smell the roses" phrase, well it is now being forced on us. I have always taken pride in how busy I keep myself, how much I can get done in a small amount of time, multi tasking and such. It is certainly a good skill to have sometimes but I'm starting to see that there is no need to spend my whole life in fast forward.

Hope she gets a cut of the profit

Problem solved. A long while back I had replaced all the dash lights with LED's. There was an LED instead of an incandescent bulb in the fuel warning indicator and as explained by @captainobvious in another thread explaining how the fuel warning light worked here: I figured since the LED requires a lot less energy to light up compared to an OEM bulb and with a constant draw from the warning light on the fuel sensor, it would always be "on". I changed it back to a regular incandescent bulb and now it's off with the tank full. I'll just have to run out a full tank of gas to check that it lights up close to empty. If it works, and I think it will, I'll have two extra 77-78 fuel senders.

Many thanks to all of you for digging into this!! After seeing the photos posted by @dutchzcarguy I can confirm these individual "icons" used to work perfectly. I was always able to see the individual "STOP", "HEAD", "TAIL", "WASH", "BATT" and finally "OK" at the end - all in different colors. I don't think they are LED's since this is early 1980's technology. In the photo posted by @dutchzcarguy the only "icon" that I never see is the solid color "DEFECT" signal. I think that's good news. The layered glass is an interesting technology that's likely very unique to the Japanese engineers. And like Captain Obvious said, "It's a light pipe." Something like some early fiber optic technology. This has been a very "enlightening" (HA HA) discussion. Now that I see photos of the WARNING MODULE (thank you very much!!) I know what I'm looking for when I get under the passenger side of the dash. There are tons of wires over on that side of the dash . . . very close to the fuse box. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I can pull my Z out of the garage on a dry day and start looking. I also have tons of photos which I will go through. Another thing BTW! I have ordered an enclosed trailer, currently being assembled by ALUMA in Iowa. 8.5 feet wide, 18 feet long with a dovetail at the back door ramp. I put a healthy down payment on it, but that was before the stock market took a sharp nosedive. Now I'm concerned that many spring and early summer car shows are going to be cancelled because of the pandemic. I'm hoping to take delivery on this trailer in early May. I checked yesterday and their company is considered "essential" because of all the agricultural trailers they make, so I hope there won't be delays and I hope the car shows will go on as planned. HOPE. Thanks for all the great and helpful discussion! Keep it going! I'm determined to get that warning module working. Rich K = Car54280ZX. I will keep everyone posted!
