Finally fixed the parts washer I never finished by yanking the sink out and screwing a flat top on it. It should make a nice temporary fab table until I get the stand for the new shear made.

Tukwila, Wa.
I can appreciate that, but they're the only ones excelling at the logistics game. I don't know what happened recently, but trying to get something delivered has become a pain in the arse. You can't even blame covids because we're almost a year in.
X-mas card coast to coast: post marked 12/9/20 in SD, CA- Arrives in MD 1/19/21
Ordered tall upper and lower ball joints from Scummit, normally 2 days: one pair in a week, next pair takes 3 weeks
Friend's dad said it took a month from small town, downtown out to our area, about 8 miles for a letter.
My new, local Internet provider guy sends an email stating that checks by mail will be voided and returned because they're showing up as much as 7 weeks late- online only now.
Bezos' trucks show up as often as 2-3x in a day= on point.
I know how that is. My paychecks get mailed every Tuesday, one from mid November did not arrive until mid December. The replacement for the missing check arrived 3 weeks before the original.

I see a horizontal surface ripe for collecting crap you don't need. Don't fool yourself with that tidy shelf fitted below! :ROFLMAO:

Nothing. Totally ignored it. Did not go within 20 feet of it and didn't sweep the path out to it. Spent most of the afternoon digging into my electrical inventory to see if I had a two-pin trailer harness with brown/red wires. No Joy. Can't go out and visit the local suppliers; non essential travel therefore subject to stop and ticketing/fines from the local cops. Can't get it delivered, even if I could find one. Could make one but it would mean stripping out the old one which would require disassembling the fender. Meh... Bleah....Bother!!!

We-ell, a male pin and a female socket, both embedded in a rubber casing so that the pin is exposed and the socket is buried. The match is the polar opposite. As for the application, any circuit where you only need the two wires but want to be to remove whatever you are playing with. Best example off hand would be an overhead or side light inside an enclosed trailer. Most of them come as permanently assembled units, so the two wire harness lets the tech or builder plug and play.

I thought you were talking about the lighting plug that connects to the tow vehicle.

Uh-uh. The four pin trailer plugs are obsolete up here for new construction because all the new trucks come with either a 6 or 7 pin socket for trailers as the default installation from the factory. When my new mini-trailer finally gets constructed, I will be fitting it with one of the new plug assemblies and lacing in the matching socket to the p/u box wiring harness. This is some king of DMV/MTO requirement for towing or some such drivel.
