Volvo VNR Electric: Commercial Transportation’s Future Is Now

We drive and evaluate Volvo’s new electric Class 8 truck.

Bill, this one is for you. 4kw torque sounds helpful
Not ready for long haul though
Can't imagine the amount of lithium that had to be mined to fill up a battery bank this size.

Roy, we are going to trade you in on a younger model.
feel better

Good morning, 35 going up to 64 and still dark.
Police arrested some people last night that tried to speed around an accident right near my house. Pulled them over had Dr*g stuff and $5800 in counterfeit money, quit unusual. Police have them as houseguests now, probably for a while.

Had a fire in the temp pit last night and watched a movie outside, pretty chilly though.

Got some leafs moved around and they stay moved for once.

Roy - feel better, take care of yourself

Gota go

Good Morning!!!! 65F @ 4:30AM.
Sunny to partly cloudy. High around 85F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
No sign of rain in the 10-day again.

Uneventful trip to town yesterday, but did swing by the cylinder head shop to try to get a fire going under the machinist. He promises to have some dimensions to me today so I can get some parts ordered. He also checked the connecting rod from the red bike and found it straight, so that's a relief.

Got aligator shot number five, only a bit sore this morning.

Unbeliveably high beef prices at Costso. No wonder restaurant prices are so bad. Good thing I like chicken...

No joy with the radios yet, and think I just need to make up my own patch cords.

TGIF gang!

Made it to work...found out about 30%-40% of the employees are out with Covid...
Not something I need with all my other ills. I think I'm going to head back home with my laptop.

BTW, one word of advice, especially to you older guys. If you develop an enlarged prostate, you'll probably start pissing...a lot. It may be voluntary or involuntary (mine is involuntary). Drink a lot of water! If you don't replenish the liquids, there may be undesirable side effects

Pretty nice day yesterday but a little cold. I layered up and mowed the yard at the farm. I could have put it off for a couple of day but you never know what the future will bring. So far the zero turn has been chopping up the leaves. I have always bagged leaves in the past but I don't have the bagger for the zero turn. Those things are expensive. It seems like every time I save up some money the economy takes a turn for the worse. Looks like it is time to watch our cash. Money doesn't grow on trees.

Today is supposed to be a little warmer and it looks like tomorrow will be downright nice.

My daughter and her husband are moving back to the good old USA from England. She came over first to get the Apartment set up. He has a University job doing genetic research but the Government being what it is, the work visa is slow to come in. He was supposed to start Oct. first. She is visiting us this week and raiding the basement and attic for stuff for the apartment. They will need a car so we are giving her our Camry. I have been thinking about one of those Rav4 primes that Drew mentioned. They are expensive and the tax credit for electric cars has run out. Meantime I will be driving my gas guzzling Tundra.

Hope everyone stays healthy and enjoys the weekend.

Chris

Roy, I guess your company didn't get the memo. That stuff is over.

Good Morning! 49˚F heading to the mid 80s clear skies light SW wind.
I thought the campfires sold out but I'll have to do a little investigating to see if they have been pulled because of the County burn ban this week. The web site does not help.

Got the house windows washed yesterday. The Windex pads continue to amaze me. Made the job so easy. The whole house took only one pad. The windows are now clean and spot free.

Pennwalk, If you go with the RAV4 prime keep us advised.

RNG, you've reminded me to get my fifth shot. I'm overdue.
Hopefully one can get the flu shot at the same time, though lots of opinions on that, including being able to know
which one you got a reaction from. I probably ought to get the shingles shot too.
I'd be glad to get a 5 in 1 combo shot every fall. I'd like the extra tracking chips please, since I get lost a lot...

Don, I used the extension mop I use to wash my car on the windows. Just use a squirt of straight car wash soap on it, just squirt if off
when done. I don't even squeegee, seems not to have any streaks.
I started out using a long pole to wash my boats 25 years ago. Have been using a pole to wash things for a long time, nicest ones were the marine
aluminum extension poles, built to last. Got a fairly cheap one now with a synthetic mop head, nice and soft on finish.
Helps not to do all that bending over.
Not sure how to get the middle of the roof without it.

39°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 81° today. Looks like we'll have similar weather through Monday, then back to more seasonal temps.

Good morning, gents.
