good morning all
up too early but coffee will get me going
should be a quiet morning until friend arrives to give me a ride to the rv, where I will check out of winter storage
and bring it home. So I expect to be busy this afternoon unloading the rv for sale.
naturally dealer told me wasn't sure he could get my price for rv, motorhomes are down, blah blah.
35 going up to 50 today, mostly sunny, should be a nice day
never made it to Costco, worked outside instead.
Mostly, when I was doing power plant instrumentation, one of the hot tickets was vibration monitoring for turbines.
everything was done to prevent unplanned outages by using predictive (early AI?) analysis.
Kia says they are putting in new engines, not fixing them. (?)
worrisome so many new engines are bad these days. And for dumb stuff like leaving production debris inside engine.
in Kia's case they got bad rings from a supplier. If they went for lowest cost, shame on them. It will sure cost them more now.
not to mention almost all new truck gas engines in last few years have been plagued with valve gear issues, all the variable timing
gear not working so well. Hemi ticks, ecoboost cam phasers, GM's bad lifters, Toyota and Lexus replacing more than 100k top of the line
V6 engine (that replaced their very reliable V8)
simple reality is between emissions and infotainment, our cars are incredibly complicated now.

Lots of snow left, so the grand kids should have fun tomorrow!
