71 degrees this morning going for a high of 94. Interesting weather yesterday. "Severe" thunderstorm came from the north, moving south; backwards from what we normally experience. We had high winds, although I didn't see any damage in my immediate neighborhood. In fact, I was quite surprised to not see any broken tree limbs. We had lots of thunder and lightning, and with one particularly bright and loud clap of thunder, the lights went off at 5:20 p.m. We had a pretty heavy rain for a short time that put about .30" of rain in my gauge. After a little more than an hour, I called TXU Energy to report the power outage. Their automated system said it was expected to be restored by 8 p.m. About 8:15 p.m. I called again and the automated system said power was expected to be restored by 10 p.m. Sure enough, the lights came back on at 10 minutes before 10 p.m. Thank goodness the rain and clouds kept it from getting too hot in the house during the power outage.

Whipper is doing good. Grass, hills, trees, deer, coyote, roadrunners, turkeys and a bunch of new smells.View attachment 557577

Glad to hear that. That's a real nice view. Odd to see so much "clothing" on Whipper, though...can't go nude in your new neighborhood, huh?

Are you talking about Milford, MI, just south of Flint? I believe it was about 1984 when I visited the GM Proving Grounds there; very interesting place. Fleet management was part of my job at the time and I had gone to the annual fleet managers meeting in Flint, then we went on a bus for a tour of the proving grounds. I remember there was a vehicle up on a lift that I'd never seen and when someone asked about it, our guide said he couldn't talk about that one. I think it hit the market the following year and was called an Astro Van.


And who, our age, doesn't remember Joie Chitwood?

Decided today was a good day to install the new battery in the Tundra.
Took old one out, cleaned up everything, even wirebrushed and painted the nuts and rust spotted holder. Put new battery in. OOPS, terminals opposite. Not a problem, just turn battery around. Now a problem. Cables too short. Neg cable actually long enough, just need to loosen and adjust the angle. POS terminal, short by inches. Makes me curious how one knows, I thought buying a 27 battery meant it was a drop in replacement for the original 27 battery. Luckily I had a short, heavy duty extension suitable for the task. Wonder if the dealership will notice next service call?

There are usually 2 version a 27 and a 27F back in the day we always called the "F" the Ford version and the post were swapped was the only difference.
