And this WSJ article seems that it might support the article:

I did search for "vanadium redox flow batteries" and the results seem to contradict everything in this article:

I had some kind of temporary visual disturbance, more than once.
So I mentioned to my primary care doc.
The center of my vision would be distorted by what looked like a twisted drop of water.
Like a Ying Yang symbol.  Vision at the outer edges was still good.

Primary Doc ordered an ultrasound of my carotid arteries.  They came out good - no problems.
Next he sent me to an ophthalmologist who did the retina pictures, etc.
Diagnosis was "ocular migraine".
I don't get headaches ever, just the visual disturbance.

Last year during a routine eye exam, including retina photos, I mentioned the "ocular migraine" thing to the optometrist.
His response was basically "its medical billing code" meaning "I don't know".

An interesting perspective. . .

Parking lot at Los Algodones during the summer off season.  During winter the lower free parking area is usually near full.  
One row of parking spaces is about 60 spaces - probably well over a thousand spaces.  
Plus, the upper parking area is for overnight parking.  ($10)
Probably over 1000 people daily crossing for optical and dental services.

If you think "Disneyland", then yes, it is crowed.

I am glad that some of you feel safe to travel and live in Mexico.  But when seeing the news, I do not want to become another statistic.  On this side of the border, I at least have the option of protecting myself legally.

Weapons are not allowed in schools or hospitals - no exception for you either.

Keep in mind that 100's and 100's of Canadian and Americans daily cross the border at Los Algodones for dental work.
And that's just one Mexican border town.  And there are many others with no casualties.

For all the fear in this country, there are just as many foreigners afraid of the US - gun killings here all the time.

Four truck campers:
1) New:  Eagle Cap 1150 - totalled/insurance cash out
2) Used:  Arctic Fox 1140 - too heavy/weird layout/traded for Lance
3) Used: Lance 1180 - Lemon/traded for a new AF
4) Arctic Fox 1150 - new 2021 and probably a keeper

The title could be clouded.  Maybe they found a major fault that needs correction.
There's no way to know at this point.

I had a similar incident with buying a foreclosed property from the bank.
I had signed the purchase agreement, paid my earnest money and waited.
They backed out of the deal by sending my deposit back with no explanation.
Turns out, the bank owned the property but not the manufactured home sitting on the property!   
(There are two separate title for such things.)
But that's another story. . . 

YouTube has a lot of videos on engine bay cleaning.

One can stay the course provided that they have a large enough financial cushion.  Living far below one's means or living on the edge are two different situations.

Events outside our control happen and they are usually made worse by politicians.  The Fed is tightening money - exactly the same thing as the Fed did in 1929.  
Stay the course if you've got the cushion.  Look for a job otherwise.

I did exactly as you did and I upgraded the power converter to one for lithium.
The standard LA charger will work but does not exactly meet lithium requirements.

And pack a small compressor, a tire plug kit and an autosock.

75 and still traveling - doing the planning and navigation and most of the physical stuff.  Wife does the cooking and is very good at it - otherwise it'd be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for me.
Hope for the best and plan for the worst.  Don't leave on a weekend.  Avoid traffic peaks around urban areas.  Make reservations for weekends.  
You'll be okay and confidence will grow with experience.

4 Ways COVID Leaves Its Mark on the Eye

Thanks you for that link.  I have itchy eyes every spring and found the website very helpful.

Agreed, although I think a more likely event would be a repeat of the 1859 Carrington Event where one huge solar flare bent the earth's magnetic field way back.  The flare was immediately followed by a second flare which mostly penetrated the remaining protective magnetic field.   Cash is good.

I see there is a wire bundle now revealed on that side of the engine that must have 50 or more wires in it.

That's where the wire was chewed through on mine.

A rodent chewed through a wire on my 2015 6.7 diesel in Pinnacles National Park.
The truck gave a warning screen but still ran okay.
At the Ford dealership, they replaced a module and finally did the troubleshooting to find the broken wire.

Thankfully, the wire was broken, not shorted.  I hope that no other "undiscovered" damage occurred from that event.

I've had thoughts about changing all of the CH751 locks on my camper since adding LFP batteries.
Even more persuasive is the increasing number of rolling homeless and As the small population of thieves becomes more knowledgeable about RV's and the simple lock systems employed,
I expect there will be more theft from RV storage compartments.
Speaking for myself, every item I carry is important.  Theft of a drill motor could be equal to the cost of replacing all the locks. 
 

We already had our three days of winter.
But it looks like another cold blast coming.

Best of luck everyone.  There's a bigger battle going on than any ever waged on the planet.

Abstract

As it comes from the factory, the pickup truck GVWR is based on the tire load capacity.
Yes, there are other factors, but you will never ever see the axle rating exceed the tire load capacity.

The vented KN95 offers superior protection - but probably fails to prevent spread.
 

I used well nuts on my current (and previous) camper to secure the panels using only two brackets per side.
