Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 39 and now with scattered overcast. Had very heavy rain earlier. I can see blue sky off to the west beyond this big nasty black cloud hanging over us at the moment.

Good afternoon everyone. Looks like the factory battery in the Escape bit the dust, so I'll be off to buy a new one after I get home from work.

I'm thinking I might have some battery problems developing the pickup. Had to get a jump start at the hotel in Newport. There was no apparent or obvious reason for the batteries to be down. I'm beginning to question the Heavy Duty Motorcraft batteries I've been using. Seems like we have this problem every couple of years.

From what I've been hearing, almost all batteries seem to be crapping out early nowadays. I have a pair of Les Schwab 850cca batteries in mine with a date code of January 2016 and they don't seem to be as strong as they should be.


I also think my Fuel Injector Control Module is going bad, which could have happened when my alternator crapped out a few months ago.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. One more Honey Do list box checked off. About the only two left in the kitchen are the new floor and wiring, plumbing and building in the dishwasher.

Belated good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Running around playing Santa. A quick stop to reload the sleigh and we are off again.
