Bill_G, retired, affluence of effluent, and errata

I had my YouTube Mix playing this morning, and it presented me with The Ting Tings / Estranged. I've heard the song on the radio, but don't recall the video. I was mesmerized. I've seen her face before ... back in the 60's. I drew her in high school art class. It's not the first happy accident I've ...

I'm glad all went well for you. Top marks for you and the staff. And quit bending your arm.

The LA Times goes into a bit more in-depth about how this came about - they hired a compliance officer. There's also a link to the city code regarding storage of non-passenger vehicles.

Cars, Trucks, and other forms of personal transportation

These newer cars with all the advanced electronics are hard on batteries. I'm closing in on 4 years with the OEM battery without issues but I'm starting to think I should replace the battery soon before it inevitably fails. I'll probably go with an AGM rather than the EFB battery that came with it....

I put that on my Subaru Forester. It works great. It remembers where you left the autostart setting. It was easy to install on my Forester. The connector is under the driver's seat. I read the instructions for Outback installation. That one in a little more hairy. It gets installed near the camera....

Cars, Trucks, and other forms of personal transportation

Only thing that bugs me a little is that shut off the engine when at a full stop for a few seconds thing. I know I can turn it off, but I'm going to give it a bit more time, see if I can get used to it. That's a fuel saver. It reduces emissions while at idle as well. But! You can't get off the line...

We've had several weeks of gloomy days, and as soon as it got nice outside so I could get stuff done in the garden, the service calls cranked up. In some respects I'm out of fucks to give.
