I was blonde for a day...it's Harley's fault

This should give a few of you a laugh...
I needed to run the gas low in Dave's HD for it to be transported. Go to start it, it won't start. Spent way too much time looking for the "shortcut" terminal to jump it so I don't have to take the seat off. Finally found it, but can't get the clamp in the space to jump it. OK, I'll take the seat off :cautious: 3 minutes later the battery is exposed. Hook up the jump box, hit the starter...nothing. (and yes the kill switch was in the proper position, what do you think I am, blonde ? ) Nothing is working, no lights, no fuel pump, nada. Take the battery to auto store. Yep, battery's fully charged, has plenty of cranking amps...well sh*t ! Bring it home, reinstall, bang on the starter, even changed the battery in the fob. Nothing !
Here's where it's Harley's fault...they have this chrome knob on a chrome "dash" that you have to turn to "ignition" !!! before it will start. Turn that sucker & lights come on, fuel pump kicks in & after a few tries it fires up ! Jeeze, I am NOT that dumb !!! I just had it started a few weeks ago, so it's not like I haven't started it before. Totally, TOTALLY Blonde day for me !!!
Yes, now you can all stop laughing & go about your day :LOL: I'll be here all week.

Definitely not your fault. Sorry you lost some time on it, but I'm glad you can have a sense of humor about it after.
lets hope thats the worst thing that happens to you today. At least you got your daily laugh.
Please continue to pretend you're not senile while I continue to search for where I left my hearing aid charger...

Robyn, blonde really isn't your color - you're much smarter than that! Maybe stay red?

I would like to be red, but too much upkeep :D
trying to make any sense out of half the stuff that goes on here requires too much upkeep.

I don't know. They can get pretty expensive.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
I don't know. They can get pretty expensive.
That's what I was thinking.
Now, if someone wants to pay for me to be a redhead, I'm all for it !
Oh, I thought he meant keeping a redhead girlfriend. I'm sure the dye is cheap.
Do it yourself is pretty cheap, but then it usually looks pretty cheap.

I don't know anything about that! Just that the color is worth maintaining.
