Morning Hank, Sparky, Jim, Gerry, & FTE friends

Just a quick goodmorning, as I have to get hay & check on my house this morning. Hope everyone has a safe, wet Saturday!
We've got rain & snow! Time to go play.

Good morning FTE! Nor Cal. Best part about the rain is it gets rid of the smog, even if only for a day or two.

That's cool Joe! A small GTG. (even if it was just 2 people) Which Pick-n-pull did you go too? We have one here in MoundHouse, but I'm assuming it's not that one you guys went to.

Yeah Donna, we went to the one in Moundhouse. If we knew you lived there we would have invited you to come along!

Actually we went to one a lot closer to home, on Jensen Ave in south Fresno. Picked up a reconditioned battery for the Bronco for a total of $31.55 and it even comes with a 6 month warranty. Popped that puppy in, and the Bronco fired right up. I am a happy camper again!

Jim

PS: Thanks Joe for all your help, could not have done it without you.

Smog?
Oh yeah, you guys live over on THAT side of the hill. Usually darned clear air in this part of Cali, except when Yosemite's burning... Then it gets real smoky over here on the Eastern side of the big hill.

Wish the rain and snow could have made it just a few days earlier. Those folks would still be in their homes over at Pleasant Valley and Washoe Valley. Tragic...

Yeah, smog, especially in the central valley. Well, I am sure the LA basin has us beat, but we still get plenty of it here.
