Call me a conspiracy theorist. But I was thinking that all this upgrading that they are doing is for EV's. The power worked just fine before. I would love to have that Lark. Doubt that I could afford it and have no place to put it. but I'd sure love it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not a theory. CA definitely needs to be doing all they can to upgrade their electrical grid in a mighty big way to enable them to keep up with present demand and then to su[port 100% electric vehicle use in less than 15 years. I guess they'll have the traffic nightmare in SoCal worked out by then as well

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That's big wood!
I did a thing last evening that has been an out of sight out of mind recurring thing I've needed to take care of for over 20 years now. And it's on my truck! So I can't tell you about it here I also killed all the weeds growing up in my brick walk. That was easy using vinegar in a watering can

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Looks like '70 Honda bike paint
Distilled White Vinegar, by the gallon or half gallon. Walmart or food stores, maybe hardware store. I've been doing it straight and I think I'll dilute it 50% next time. A gallon didn't go far on my brick walk, like 6'. I've done the whole thing. Next is the stone driveway.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Mine's big enough (I know, that's what she said) but I wouldn't call it ugly. Not to its face anyway. When the power goes out it's downright beautiful. 13kw Generac with a transfer switch.

Nice! Our Generac is just 3 1/2 years old. So far, so good!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Put a battery in my youngest son's car. I hope he didn't pig mine up when he drove it to work, today. His hasn't seen water since the last time it rained, it would appear. And it's filthy inside. :/

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Quote:
Power was on all day today! I still didn't do anything. I walked out the door and immediately went back in. Well I did go get Subway sandwiches and my buddy got a 12 pack of beer. He paid for the beer and we were walking out when the handle ripped off the 12 pack and beer was rolling all over the floor. He was just standing there like a fool with the handle in his hand with the guy behind the counter yelling at him that he couldn't return it. I was laughing my head off. He looked ridiculous but then two VERY good looking women walked up and offered to help him pick it up and they just happened to have an empty shopping bag. Don't ask me why they had an empty bag but they did. So they are picking the cans up and I'm not helping. I'm still laughing and watching the girls in short shorts bend over to help pick the cans up. Oh yeah I am. My buddy offered them a slightly shook up beer but unfortunately they declined. But they were sweet girls. And very easy on the eyes.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Reminds me of a time my brother-in-law lost his keys in a strip bar one slow afternoon. They were all looking over, under, and around everything in them skimpy little watchamacallits

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The wife said to me just yesterday "you might need to go out to the shop and make sure our gen will start, just in case we lose power". So I did the right thing and just kept reading the internet.

That's the spirit! When my wife tells me to do something I know it's nap time. Forget that.
