Tesla and Rivian stock is down, big time. Meanwhile GM and Furd stock is up...maybe because the saw the light and are busily abandoning the EV crap gospel.

This bobcat in CA kinda looked like a deer might eat it.

Hmm. I thought you were just getting old.

I dunno. Seems like DavidKFla is fairly benign these day.

Haven't seen a coyote since the foxes started hanging around a few months ago. Don't want either kind near here.

We have bobcats, too, but no black panthers. Actually, there are no blacks at all around here as far as I know. But indians to the northwest.

Nah. They're around, but we had more of them in California. There I saw tracks somewhat frequently, but only saw one once.

Probably not all that long. The hawks and ravens have been congregating around a spot to the northeast, but before I got around to go see what they were waiting to feast on I saw the leg maybe 200 yards to the south.

Speaking of body parts. Yesterday I found a deer leg behind the house. Went to get it today, figuring it could be used for deer leg soup, but it was gone. Seems like the mountain lion a neighbor saw the other day is still hanging around.

Might as well wash it while waiting a few hours for it to charge so it'll make it the last 15 miles.

Oh, I really like driving the 'Cat. It's my favorite car. My only regret is not buying one sooner. It's just so satisfying to floor it when occasionally catching up with another vehicle (usually doing 70 mph or less), wait for a chance to pass it, then listen to the glorious exhaust notes...

I only "race the GPS". Okay, not really, but it is fun to see the estimated time of arrival get beat by up to 40%. Curvy roads are what I like, and the occasional 60-120 spurt just for kicks. Where the road's straight enough to allow it. Have "raced" another vehicle with the 'Cat once. That...

Well, I have to put anti-gel in the tanks of the diesels. Costs less than buying an EV, a lot less, and that simple addition makes them work even when it's cold.

So much like with my JD eGator, an EV is usable as long as you don't really need to go anywhere.

Someone put the body on backwards. I knew about quality control issues on some EVs, but this is a bit much.

I'm doing okay with a 15KW. Could've got an 18 for only a few hundred more, but after looking at the fuel consumption difference at half load, the smaller one seemed like a better choice. I may have up to 1,600 gallons in tanks, but could also be down to under 1,000 at times (not counting about...

As DavidKFla pointed out, there's normally no part of a house that can be charged. Instead (and even I knew that), some can be used to provide a bit of power to a house. Seems like the new buzzword is "charging", which may make some EV owners, or potential ones, feel better about it. And they...

I wouldn't be that lucky if I had one.

Haven't bought a vehicle within the state for a long time. Sometimes they've been only 300 miles away, other times 1,300+. This trailer was some $8K cheaper than the local dealer (150 miles from here) wanted and it will be a long day to go get it 800 miles from here, but worth it. Might become...
