Good Morning Texicans. Well changed the battery in the truck yesterday. Sheesh they don't make it easy. So loaded up to day and got halfway there and alternator starts acting up. So no shooting , again. Taking it in Tuesday so next shoot day is maybe Wednesday. Otherwise it is a fine day.

Oof. Yeah, alternators and batteries are in kind of a symbiotic relationship. A bad battery can kill a good alternator by causing it to overwork itself, and a bad alternator will kill a good battery by over or undercharging.

Guessing your truck is a Chevy or a Ram by the "sure don't make it easy" comment? Wasn't a huge fan of replacing batteries on either make. GM and Chrysler really take battery placement to the "oh, shit, we designed the car and didn't give a good spot for the battery, where can we jam this mother?" zone. Eurotrash cars are similar, as are mid 2000s-onward Ford sedans and compact SUV's, save for a handful of models.

Hadn't had to work on a newer Ford truck, so I can't comment on battery placement - but my mid 2000's Ford work truck was stupid easy to get to the important bits.

Hell, there was a time when I felt if it was legal, it wasn't any fun. Now if I want fireworks, I'll watch it on TV or shoot something.

Just woke up after my 7th “nap.”

I’ve got almost six hours now.

Looks like y’all making a pretty good Saturday. Hope so. Keep it up.

Ciao

Was outside going to fix a water hose near the garden, and noticed a dead possum. She had a whole litter of babies, but most were already dead. We did manage to rescue these two little ones.

Update: Wife posted a picture of them on Facebook, and a friend of her's son has raised them before and has experience with them so they are going to a new home this evening!

Yeah! Woot! Woot!

did you try to feed them?

 

[Axxe55]

Didn't even try. I felt they had a better chance of surviving by finding someone with more experience with that young of a possum.

I’m glad you found them a home

They just got picked up a short while ago.

Just wanted them to have a chance of surviving. They were just too young for me to feel comfortable in them having a good chance.
