In 1968 my first car was a '63 Beetle that I rebuilt the engine in, using parts from the JC Whitney catalog. I put in oversized pistons & cylinders, and replaced the single barrel carb and manifold with a two barrel for a nice performance boost. It was painted Cat yellow with a black racing...

I had looked at the VW EVs ( as well as pretty much every other EV sold in the US), and while a VW fan in general, I was disappointed in the range offerings of their EVs, so not too surprised with your experience. Range was probably the main thing I looked at when researching EVs. As EV's go...

Yeah, I think the pent up demand following the pandemic pretty much allowed the manufactures go hog wild on their pricing, but I also think they have caught up with demand for the most part now, and you are seeing a lot of those ultrahigh sticker prices being heavily discounted with lots of new...

I've been using this in our diesel VW in AZ, and our JD tractor with the Yanmar diesel for quite a few years with good results, but I think you're right, three years is pushing it. Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment - Concentrated Diesel Formula They also make a gasoline version that the local...

FWIW The manufacturer of the LiFePo4 batteries we have recommend that when you are storing the batteries for long periods, that they be charged only to about 60% before storing, which is what we do with our EcoFlow sogen units, and bike batteries when we head to the southwest during the winter...

FWIW It sounds like the TD has something wanting to draw power as soon as it's available (probably the charger at least) and there's a little arc between the trailer prongs and the plug contacts as they near each other at maybe not quite a square angle, so one is making contact just slightly...

Sounds like a plan to me.;)

While it's again leaving kicking and screaming, winter is definitely on its way out, along with the ice.

We'll be rejoining the mid-west roller-coaster weather in less than a week now, so hoping the snowblower won't required any further this season.;)

Woke about 6:30 this morning to a Good Friday air show.

For the last several years, as we do our daily walks around the nearby lakes at our AZ winter home, there has been an owl we keep an eye out for who nests in a palm near the walking path and has a brood about this time each year. I try to capture her in a photo, but with usually mixed...

Actually aviation kinda does do that. In most of the certified planes I have owned or been partners in, all of the wiring was white, with no labels, and the only noticeable difference between one wire and another might be the gauge size printed on the fireproof tefzel jacket over the tinned...

ISWYDTT;)

Maybe you can accompany the crawdads when they sing.;)

Getting a little warm here too. 102 in the shade! New record for earliest 100+ day in PHX:(

I'll help celebrate that small victory!

That reminds me of when we were still spending a majority of the winter in MN and our neighbor was renting out his seasonal home in the winter for people who might want to ice fish. Well a group of Texans rented it for a weekend retreat. Now we normally let the first few snows get packed down on...

I guess you won't be ordering the optional dishwasher for your camp-inn now that you have your hand wash only dishes then.;)

Nice work!

Most of the vegetation is really starting to pop down here about now. I got most of the pruning done about a month ago, so new growth is showing up on those shrubs. Mid 70s today, but into the 90's later this week, and supposed to break 100 mid next week. Will have to start thinking about...
