Good morning!!!!

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly…).

62F going to low 80e, sunnier day forecast.

thinderstorms overnight kept Senior dog nervous so she was up and whining for a couple hours, running a bit slow this morning as a result.

Grey rainy day was very welcome, what with new planting the evening before. Got partly sunny about 3pm but plants got a good watering. I need to get some tomato supports aet up in the next couple days, but it will be too slick/muddy to go up until this evening, probably do it tomorrow.

pictures one month apart:

Slowly getting there!

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

I had to chuckle over this article.
you shell out 60 grand for your new Tesla last year.
For that you get your own exclusive charging spots, best system in the country.
Then your buddy Elon drops the price of your car ten grand and nothing back for you.
you take the hit.
Then Fed gov investigates Tesla for false claims about self driving and your ten thousand dollar self driving option
still doesn't do what they said it would do.
you take the hit.

Then Elon announces that you will now have to compete with hordes of Chevrolet Bolts at your exclusive
Tesla superchargers since a deal was just cut.
This is a very big deal to EV owners.
I wonder what GM had to pay for this right.
maybe you take a hit, probably likely.

during the super cold weather last winter only the Tesla systems reliably worked. Most others dumbed down to a slower rate or didn't
work at all. I wonder how Scandinavia does it? They are going almost all electric.

I'm waiting for the first shoot out at a charging station...

Tesla Superchargers Are about to Get Crowded

With Ford and now GM EVs soon able to use Tesla’s Superchargers, are Tesla drivers ready for this many EVs at their stations?

anyone here own a Tesla?
how do you feel about sharing?
particularly with those cars that take three times longer than yours to charge.
Oh no....there's a Nissan Leaf in my spot.

Good morning, low temp is 57 and going to a high of 63°F. Wind ENE 8 mph. Rain at times heavy this afternoon.

I think I will leave for the Bay at about 9 A.M. That will get me there for about 10 (I am 45 minutes south of North Bay.), grease my 5th wheels and get ready for a busy summer.

Stay safe all

67 going to 82.

Congratulations on getting the new puppy, Buppies. Looks happy.

Mostly, awesome trip. Glad no major problems.

Don, I think I found it.

Had a nice day on the river at friends' yesterday...kayak fishing...smallies and brim. Nice cookout and swapping stories.

When we owned our condo in Florida, there was someone (not a resident) who visited almost every day to play tennis on our courts with a friend, and who plugged in their leaf onto our complex’s electric every time…

Good morning. Rain is here very soon is what the FC tells us

Going to drop off Cody at the groomer this morning. His double coat needs frequent attention to keep shedding down. Fire alarm told me this morning " change battery" and woke me up. It is linked over 3 floors and talks to you. Of course no batteries left so need to get more. May stop at Costco and load up on a few things as well.

Drew, the electric car industry is still in the early stages. What is the status of the electric build out overall to get ready for the new generation of cars?

wunderground has an interesting fire tracking function
good thing the smoke from Mexican fires is not coming North

I've been hunting cherries this morning.
as in where to pull in the motorhome at a cherry farm in Northern Michigan.
figured I'd add a day to this trip, subtracting one from time in Cedarville, to spend a night in N/W Michigan.
Highly rated campground near Traverse City, pretty snooty, only class A, C and fifth wheel. No B or conventional trailer. ??
well for one night. And 28 feet minimum. Ooohhh by a hair length with the spare tire am I 28 feet long...

So I come up from Ron's home West of Detroit and loop off to the West to take in the shoreline drive finally leading up to Mackinaw bridge.
On the way back RS is going to come visit me in my campground at (sure had to look this name up...) Mogadore Ohio.

I found some cheap sparklers in the supermarket locally, that was easy, so hope to arrive in Cedarville with a cherry pie and sparklers.
and a whole bunch of little American flags I need to decorate the rv site with.

Mostly, welcome back. What part of the trail did you ride? Relatives of mine lived or still live near Sedalia, others near Boonville. Both near the trail.

Drew, there is a very contentious thread regarding EV’s already. You can read all about it in that thread.

You would also like visiting Hartville Hardware while in Akron area. Big place.
