Good morning!!!!

I looked into that, but ended up selling the buggy. A supposed friend lied to me about needing it for his terminal mother. It had a lift kit and ATV tires, but could use some new batteries. I sold it to him for $400. The lie wasn't about his sick mom, it was that he just wanted to get it and flip it. When I sold it to him, I told him "If you sell it, I want first rite of refusal to buy it back." he put some new batteries, rattle can sprayed it dark green, and sold it for $$$. He never offered it back to me, and he flipped it so fast, I know his mom hardly ever got to use it. She lived for a couple of years or more. He turned out to be the kind of guy who would whittle on your price, no matter if you told him firm. My FIL later taught me to just tell them to go stuff it and not sell them the item even if they agree to your price, for a matter of principle.

I'd like to hear how your new controller ends up working. 48v is a lot more than 36v.

I have been doing older golf cart conversions to solid state for 20 yrs. And from older series drive to modern sepex drive. There's not much about this I don't know in DC conversions, not AC. I can't answer your questions there. This particular kit for early Club Cars will feature a drop in series drive system with a rocker switch F&R. 48v will induce the stock motor to produce about 20-30% more torque and speed more efficiently than 36 volts.
Basically take out all the old drive system and put this unit in along with an electric go pedal. It started as a hobby when my wife's Aunt gave us an old Melex cart long ago.
At one time I flipped a lot of CL carts but they are all too expensive these days Now I just sell DIY kits

Good Morning,

Had to do more snowplowing this week, so I got a bit more seat time in - yay. There is a break in the weather today, so I will be getting to town for a few basics and some errands.

estranged wife is recovering from her recent MVA, no longer in pain. Her VW New Beetle is being repaired - surprizing, because she thought it was a write-off. So she plans to park it in the garage for the Winter months, and use the Murano instead. (For a brief moment there I thought that I might be able to park the tractor in the garage for the winter ... more convenient, oh well).

No other changes here yet.

Blessings All, have a good weekend. Might get a chance to check in later.

What kind of driveway alarm do you have?

3+ years no one walks or drive up our driveway,FedX and UPS drivers take couple steps uses the drop box....our driveway alarm.

Moved about 4 more loads, including some cedar trunks and a few ash tree trunks. Still a lot more to do, and the dead stands of Ash keep me out of certain areas waiting for them to finish falling.

Do you burn the pile?

 

[Thomas]

OOPS! Accidentally hit 'post' prematurely on the last post .....

Had an interesting night.... woke up around 01:15, in a stupor.... then a few minutes later, the alarm on the pellet stove went off......

Staggered out of bed to find the burn pot in the pellet stove way overflowing...... about 6 handfuls worth....
emptied it out and cleaned the pot ---- really clogged up.
Reset the stove and fired it up to see if the igniter burned out. Nope, working fine. Ok, back to bed.

Then early this morning around 05:30, Max starts alerting and barking at the front door..... guess who's back? --- the woodpecker. This bird is persistent... Had to shoo him away off the porch 3 times this morning! Going to have to find a solution.... might put up some blocking between the rafters to see if that will work.....

Ron, nice pic of the hawk. Watched a hawk swoop down into our courtyard and catch a ringneck dove just a couple of days ago. Definitely a few notches up the food chain.

Some shop time on the agenda today, probably tomorrow too. Haven't decided on which project to work on.....
First, I'll have to brave going under the overhand of snow to open the door to the shop.....

I'm surprised it curled down that much without breaking off. The lowest point is almost 2' down.

Everyone have a great day!

That could be headache if some comes out the door quickly.

Good breakfast this morning. Got a little motivated after I got back, and did a little stone work, and finished a pad behind the barn for the 12 ft trailer. Yard still was too wet, tore it up some but supposed to get 1-2" of rain again tomorrow. Did put some of the old landscape fabric under the stone. Still need to move the rest of the stone pile somewhere, probably on the back side of the barn.

Helo is that Burmese Mountain dog?

Have heard most of 'em..... for the time, liked most of 'em at one point ......
Wasn't sure that I was going to admit that.....

Think there was only 1 I didn’t remember. I do find it annoying, perhaps a symptom of what’s wrong today that someone like him feels qualified to judge things from our past. He has know way to look with the perspective of the day. Unfortunately this is a popular current pasttime, lots of click sites out there degrading Boomers etc for what we liked or did.

Sure looks like a Berner to me.
