I missed another month. Lol. I was still watching April.

I got the oil changed the other day, went to start it and forgot to charge the battery.

That's awesome.

I tested my battery last night. It's at 80%. Wander if I need to replace battery cables, they look terrible. I didn't even have enough power to run the radio.

I would. On all my old trucks I always do. Cheap easy preventative fix. You should have enough power for the radio. Maybe the battery is bad? I love having Optima batteries in all my vehicles. The price is a little much but they usually last me 10 years.

New addition to the garage

Had a Harbor Freight coupon sooo, got this little ceiling hoist for $80.00. I think it’ll be handy. (Jeep top, my tailgate when we put the camper on, etc).
