I have a similar not remote device in my truck. There's a second battery under the hood wired into it. When the truck is running it charges that battery, but when it shuts off, it disconnects that battery so as to not drain the start battery. I have the second battery wired in to run some...

One of my issues with EV's is the secondary market. It's going to be virtually non-existent. I don't buy new cars, I have no desire to take out a loan on something that loses so much value in such a short time. Leasing is out of the question because I do not want to be limited to miles or pay...

There's a video out there of a CT trying to get up a slight incline in a driveway with about 5" of snow, and it couldn't make it. It snowed here last week. I took my truck out, with it's worn tires and went up and down several farm lanes that hadn't been touched, all 4" or more deep, in 2WD...

I don't think you believe that's an actual solution. A couple months ago my wife needed to rent a car for a business trip. She couldn't get one, all gone. In my situation of needing to tow 3800#, I went to Uhaul to get a tow dolly to take my GMC Jimmy to the shop. They wouldn't let me rent...

I was out in midstate PA and miscalculated my mileage and didn't fuel up when I should have, I made my stop and hit the GPS to find the closest source of fuel. The van said I had 11 miles left, the station was 9 miles away and was the only station within 20 miles. The station was in a very...

Nope, not really, I'm taking a 8 hour trip, I don't want to stop every 150 miles to charge and wait for how ever long it takes so I can travel another 150 miles. Keep in mind what I'm pulling, if I have food on board, it all has to be kept cold 41F or below. The longer it takes to get there...

A 7000# Rivian assumed curb weight is 800# heavier than my fullsize sierra. I can pull a 3800# trailer 300+ miles on a full tank. Is there any EV truck that can come close to that? Keep in mind, that my truck powers the trailer as I'm pulling it, which has zero effect on range.

They're not allowed to accept any food from any place they're inspecting.

If you have the right kind of personality, you can get away with saying things like this: Inspector: "Once I walk off this truck, you guys are good to go" Me: "If I throw you off this truck, are we still good to go?" I smiled, she realized I was joking, then I apologized that was just...

We just got back from our first gig, which was a last minute booking because the weather isn't going to be good on monday. We started working at 7am, from picking up wings to prepping them and all the other stuff we needed to prep, loaded up, forgot some things and arrived at 3:30pm and stayed...

We passed our inspection. We are now a fully licensed Mobile Food Facility Type 3. Our first day was going to be the 15th, but it looks like the weather is going to be miserable.

It's been a busy couple of weeks. Opening inspection is tomorrow at 8:45am, we should pass. Although throughout all this I keep thinking how could we possibly pass, then I read through inspection reports in the news, and I think how could we possibly fail. If we pass, we can legally open, but...

Are flash mob riots a problem in retirement communities?

Pressure cookers, or as they're known today "instant pots" are still exploding even with modern day safety features installed. My rule here is, if there's a pressure cooker getting heat, never leave the kitchen, and check the gauge frequently. My big pot can go up to 240F after that it gets...

One of mine was made in 1917, I guess I'm safe.

Reduce the cooking time to get them the way you like. They're vegetables, there is no set internal temperature they need to be at like meat. The only vegetable that I do in a pressure cooker is fresh greenbeans, and that's only because I can get them done quickly that way, they're not mush.

Propane supplier said to keep the tanks 30% full, anything below that at low temps and we'll end up with flame outs. They're not terribly far away and they can fill the tanks without taking them off the trailer. I recently configured them so they can fill them without even needing to unlock...

The week before Christmas we delivered 27 boxes of cookies to businesses that we work with whether personally or for the truck, also to the businesses that have given us permission to setup, and for the owners of the country's oldest Turkey farm. Today, wife and I ran some errands and made...

Let's say the Borg were to assimilate Harry Potter, would the entire collective then be magical?
