'Tis the season..???

[Joe Breaux]

I dont know why but I have had 2 solenoids and 2 batteries fail in the last two weeks  on three  different ATVs .. must be the heat...or the moon ...   Thanks to Amazon, I am up and running quickly on al 3 

[T-boss 410]

Probably those darn hippie tree huggers. They are sabotaging your ATV's so you have to go buy all electric ones 😉

[Joe Breaux]

you will know when I buy an all  electric  anything .. HELL WILL FREEZE OVER

"What we have here is a failure to communicate". I guess you'll just have to be "reeducated". Pack your stuff, you'll be on your way to one of Biden's many reeducation camps, where you'll learn how to hug trees, love everyone (except white folks), and hate yourself. You'll soon learn how looting and destruction of property is just a peaceful way to express yourself. You'll learn how to live off the government and the true meaning of equity.  All in all, a wonderful way to spend a month, since you aren't permitted to leave the camp.

In Lou'sana,,, i bet it's the humidity....

but just think, if you go all electric you can be like a tesla owner and carry a Honda generator in your bed. Or my electrical gremlins hopped over to your machines.

Nahhh, we only get 97.9% humidity here in southeast Texas, so it's a walk in the park compared to Lou'sana humidity.

[Joe Breaux]

well damn... now a frickin starter went on a 5 year old Honda RECON ... must be the heat... Honda wanted $385  .. thats insane.. its 4 inches long .... Got one on Amazon.. $39 .. spins the crap out of it. ...I think I might try to find brushes for the OEM , rebuild it and save for another day.. 

[T-boss 410]

Shoulda bought a Massimo 😎

How's the weather down there? I see there's another hurricane coming. 

[Joe Breaux]

yeah right... well its damn hot here, its ALWAYS damn hot here.. We only have 2 seasons.. We have SUMMER  and then we have JANUARY ...and then SUMMER again ... Right now we have NO GASOLINE .. cant find any anywhere .. I had 25 gallons for my generator but had to use it in my truck.   I just wonder what all those ELECTRIC CAR owners are doing since there been no electricity for 9 days .. Push them maybe?

[T-boss 410]

There's been way too much hype on electric vehicles. Nobody talks about the destruction of the environment caused by the mining of the metals needed for the batteries, nor the cost of replacing those batteries when that time comes. And this whole autonomous vehicle thing is just so far out there. If you don't (or can't) drive, take public transportation. Don't rely on a driverless vehicle to get you where you're going. Some of the technical advances in the automotive world I think are great. This AIN'T one of them. You certainly can't take a long road trip, as the batteries need recharged after a few hunderd miles, at least.

My rant, I'm off the soap box now.

[Joe Breaux]

few hundred miles IF you dont need to run A/C or heat.. then its cut in half. and what if theres no where to plug in when you get there ? bring 10 miles of extension cord? and why do people think its cost free ?  the 240V electricity for up to 8 hours for recharge aint free.   Batteries last maybe 4-5 yrs.. cost $10K for new ones!, And then theres the autonomous driving ones that get confused by any flashing light and crash into Fire Trucks, Ambulances, Road Construction signs .. I would never trust my life to a car computer to drive me 70 mph.   This tech is NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME 

[T-boss 410]

Doesn't it require a special type of plug? I don't think it's the common 3 prong household type. Can't use your home electric supply to recharge it, correct?

[Joe Breaux]

yeah its a whole unit for charging , .. requires 240V from your electric meter . You dont just plug in an ordinary extension cord .. Chevy is recalling  all their BOLT models due to fires starting in batteries while charging .. This crap is just not ready.. Just like wind and solar. We saw in Texas what happens to Turbines and Solar Farms when IT GETS COLD!  People died .. We are decades away from getting off fossil fuels. Liberals and govt need to accept that .. and NO! the world is not ending in 10 years as that pea brain AOC says .... But I digress... Managed to get 30 gallons of gas at 4AM today.. no line 

[T-boss 410]

So, are all these hurricanes keeping it muddy for you down there???

[Joe Breaux]

If it gets any wetter we wil start to mildew

[T-boss 410]

Are there any more brewing right now?

We dodged a bullet with Nicholas.  The Eye passed about 20 miles south of us, we got about 2" and tropical storm force winds.

'Lousana took the grunt of the rain.......again..

 

[T-boss 410]

I don't know how you folks do it. We get an occasional tornado, but the heat and humidity down there, and you add in hurricanes and tropical storms, I couldn't do it.

At least you had soap! We had to stand outside in the rain and scrub ourselves with a toothbrush and some baking soda. 😜

[Joe Breaux]

wow ..you had a toothbrush?   rich people, eh? 

[T-boss 410]

Yeah, we were pretty fortunate. I found it on the ground outside of a motel. We all shared it, my mom and 2 dads and 12 siblings. Just cleaned the hair out of it. Couldn't find any toothpaste, though. They had the lid on the dumpster locked.
