The Goodyear Endurance is an ST tire with a speed rating of 87 mph. https://www.goodyearrvtires.com/pdfs/goodyear_rv_brochure.pdf

It's my understanding that Tesla uses lot's of LG batteries and plans to use more in future. https://electrek.co/2021/06/02/tesla-first-lg-new-ncma-nickel-based-battery-cells/ https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-battery-cells-lg-supplier-us/ https://electrek.co/2020/11/23/tesla-secures-battery-cell-supply-from-lg-chem-model-y-production-china/ https://thedriven.io/2021/03/10/lg-energy-solutions-to-make-tesla-4680-batteries-sources-say/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-lg-evs-exclusive-idUSKBN2B12HY

There are those with the imagination and vision to venture into the unknown. There are others with the practical knowledge and mechanical skills to recognize the challenges and make it happen. It takes both kinds of people to create. It's foolish and unproductive to criticize either.

Maybe you don't have enough imagination. 😎

Hey Jim and Alice. How about saving me having to read this book and answer a quick question. I've heard all my life that the fall of the Roman Empire was due to the Romans voting to give themselves more benefits than they were willing/able to pay for. Any truth to that? Thanks.

That was a very pleasant video to watch, even though I have no interest in HDT's nor tire changing.

The older "For Sale" posts are useful to me. What's so hard about looking at the date?

Those "older" messages are useful to me. I vote to please keep them.

Best wishes to and for you Derek.

I think I found one of them.

That's all that counts.

Why? I guess you'll have to think outside your Teton box to come up with that answer. Not all RV's have heated space where a battery can be placed, unless you want to be stepping over your batteries while cooking dinner or using the toilet, etc. Just suffice to say that there are applications where such a heated battery serves a purpose. If you have no need for one, that's great. Everyone doesn't share your circumstances.

The battery is not limited to RV usage. Also, many rv's have battery compartments which are not in climate controlled areas. Why move the battery inside when there is already a compartment built and designed for batteries?

Thanks to both of you. This is exactly why I don't have the service. It's not worth $20 and I don't care to jump through hoops otherwise.

I get the $5 month offers continuously. I would pay that. However, in the fine print it says that you have to use your credit card and that after one year it goes to like $20+ a month. The only way to end service is by calling them. Two questions. How do you continue to receive it at the promotion price? How much grief do they give you when you call to cancel service? Thanks.

I did two firmware updates on my WifiRanger in the past. Both times, the unit locked up and was useless. Both times I had to send it in and let them fix it. I quit doing firmware updates on that device. I've since moved on to better quality equipment and do regular updates without issue.

You may be totally right. Just curious, though. How do you know this? You're a retired forester. Tesla has some of the brightest young engineering minds in the world working on this. They think otherwise. I guess only time will tell.

Looks to be about 21 years and some months old.

This may or may not be true, depending on the State where the notary is located. https://www.nationalnotary.org/notary-bulletin/blog/2015/12/three-ways-notaries-properly-identify-signers

I'm a Musk and Starlink fan, hopefully it will fulfill my needs someday soon. However, I don't totally agree with a couple of comments in the first article. Yes, Starlink will be available to most places on the planet. No, it will not be available to everyone. By Starlink's own estimates, it will not have enough bandwidth to furnish broadband to highly populated areas. As long as those who have little alternative (rural) are using it, there will be enough to go around, but it will not be sufficient to replace urban alternatives. I also don't think that an investment of $500 plus $100 per month qualifies as "low cost", compared to cable or dsl. It is competitive with cellular and satellite service, however. Also, Starlink requires line of sight.

I tuned in to 1580 AM and it's just static, I guess that's a good sign. 🙂

Sounds about right. https://snapzu.com/geoleo/how-much-room-the-entire-world-population-would-take-up-if-standing-side-by-side

How did you know she was bi? Sorry, couldn't resist.

I drove through a herd of bison in Yellowstone a few years ago on a motorcycle. I was sure hoping that the cars ahead would keep moving, but they didn't. It was a humbling experience.

My anecdotal story. When they replaced my roof, they hung both a/c units on a ceiling beam with a hook. Both were like that for three days, basically with the front up and rear down. They re-installed them and I was using both within a couple of hours after install. They're still working fine years later.
