Why???? !!!!

gumpbuck · 07-17-2013, 09:52 PM

Why does every 5 minute golf cart job end up taking 2.5 hours or more????

All I wanted to do is add a couple rocker switches to my dash. One for the reducer and one for a set of fog lamps I am installing. I would be OK with it if there were a few beers along the way, but that just didn't happen. To top it off, I'm not done and will need to go back to the store for a few more connectors.

It's a good thing I love this sh%#!!! LOL...

2 tips for you that has helped me over the years:

1) Never ever forget the cold beverages!
2) When you buy the necessary supplies buy 2 extras to keep in stock for the next time

You can always use them on another project

Good luck Gump!

I could not agree more. Especially if you live a ways from town
