Glad to say that after being snowed in for 2+ days, our new-to-us Toyota Tundra managed to claw its way up our driveway in 4WD with street tires.
Nowhere we have to go right now - the local backroads are still pretty slick - but nice to have the option, even at these temps!
You know, I'm curious... do Floridiot drivers speed up or slow down in the cold?
On one hand, I think, they're too busy shivering to keep consistent hammer-down on their gypsy assortment of Nissan Sentras, Kia Rios, and worse contraptions that they joust one another with on the highways.
On the other hand, those mighty 1.3L engines probably need heavy throttle inputs to keep the precious heater running at all, thus encouraging MORE of their nonsense.
Please help solve this for science for me.
We have a phenomenon around here I call the "old man truck". Retired guys will buy a small pickup, like a Colorado or Ranger, and just drive around through the country at 30mph to "see what the neighbors are doing". Not stop and visit.... just watch.
Being a single-seater, the Fly Baby's cockpit is pretty draft-free. Just have to cover any bare skin due to the odd winds that waft through.
Did you forget to coat your exposed skin with whale grease?
In the early’80s, Mr Daub was in his 90s. He would drive his 1946 Chevy down Main St. in first gear, at idle. He’d see someone in his mirror and turn off onto a side street to get out of the way.
Hopefully it took some of the chill off.
Had to turn the water off to my neighbor's house early this am because of water running out their garage, they moved out recently. I am sure the cause was frozen pipes.
like the Pirate’s Code, Electrical Code is really more of a guideline.
Couldn't find the middle finger emoji
The odd thing is, I had one breaker shut off, but water was still flowing. I don't know how, but it was. Maybe it was running at half speed, lol.
Hmmmm.... now ya got me wondering about if my well is connected correctly or not.
It'll work...for a little. Run a risk of burning up the pump if it's that way too long
The even more annoying part is I had replaced the pressure switch this past spring with an upgraded Square D model which included a low-pressure cutoff if pressure dropped so low the it indicated a line break. Apparently that did not function as intended.Hmmmm.... now ya got me wondering about if my well is connected correctly or not.
That's pretty much what I figured. It'll work, until it gets hot. It wasn't running on 110V for more than an hour, so we'll see if that impacts anything. I also don't know how it hadn't drawn down the well to the point where it was cavitating.
This is 100% the reason my electric car is not a Tesla. They are a fantastic software company but I highly doubt they took the cars to Lapland for some brutal winter testing like the other car makers do.
