Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

been to the ocean/beach?

 

Yup. Customer said was parked a block away from the ocean most of it's life. All good now. New lower control arms and other new bits.

From my experience, the solar panels will recharge the batteries, but never seem to bring them to 100%.

I've found Deep Cycle batteries like to be really drained, then charged with a quality charger to keep them at full capacity.

Can you give the batteries an over night charge running off 120v every year or so?

Oddly enough, I read an article put out by Toyota involving battery maintance.

The article said a deep cycle battery will perform the best after 75-100 complete drainings and recharging.

A trickle charger running off 120v will still only get you about 10 years of use out of those batteries. I'm certain a solar panels system will be less.

You have to be careful, some trickle chargers put out too many amps and you run the risk of cooking off the water in the batteries. Check the water regular.

Hint:

The plain, bottled water you buy to drink is more pure than distilled water. Just don't use the stuff that has minerals added. Look for Reverse Osmosis processed water. The complete process is 95% free of contact with any metals.

Sorry about the rambling. Former occupation in water chemistry bubbling up.

 

I'm amazed at the job offers I get on that site. They can't seem to wrap their head around the fact that I retired at 52 because I don't want work anymore( just for myself is ok).

 

Good morning friends! Hope everyone had a good weekend and has an awesome week

@Hunterdc1 hope you are feeling better

 

This thread is starting to look up.

 

Here I sit
So broken hearted
Came to poop
But only farted
Then one day
I took a chance
Tried to fart
And pooped my pants

 

Thank you! Great information for me to ponder!

 

I've been struggling with solar panel(s) and a deer camera. You wouldn't think it would be that hard to keep a charge on one in the full sun but it is, for me

 

I waited until I was 35 to get married, partly because my brothers marriage didn't last 5 years. Mine almost didn't make it to the 1st anniversary, we actually split up for 2 months and I moved out shortly after Cole was born. It was rough. We've had our share of troubles but it's a work in progress. Celebrated 11 years last September.

Anybody that says marriage isn't work is lying

 

Glad y'all could work it out. .

Wife and I are coming up on 41 years. I don't know how she did it.

 

‘Morning all.

After the hurt subsided, I’ve said, “The first one didn’t take.”

I agree 100% on the work part but both need to recognize and work at it.

Good for you, your wife and the kids! Congratulations on 11 and here’s to many more .

 

I gotta say my alleged younger brother was the golden child !!

He could do no if he did most often I was blamed Because He just could not have done something like that.

He kinda got his just deserts He married a High Maintenance wife lives in a development I love in the Woods .

I went to the only Birthday party For his one son I was ever invited to Seems the sperm Donor told him it was not safe to have kids around me.

Funny thing I had Great Respect for His Father in law that is how I found out

 

Good morning Shane and company

 

Morning all
Have a friend that say family is like fish after 3 day they start to stink.

 

Chain Shane Gang

 

36. Still waiting.

 

Hang in there. Keep the standards high, thoroughly check the fitment

It’ll happen when it happens.
