I watched a gas station in Stamford going up in flames Saturday afternoon.
High Ridge, coming off the Merritt. (yeah, I know I'm over the GVW...)

Major artery shut down. Lots of cops and apparatus. Thankfully there is a Fire Station right around the corner from the Global.
The suppression system worked as designed. A few customers shellshocked and looking like ghosts, covered in powder.
One of the pumps torn out because of fire inside.

That was exciting!!!

Liberty Auto Electric was on the scene cordoning it off and making it safe hours later on my return trip.

Good morning Andy!

I was going to go for a ride on my motorcycle this morning.
It's been months, and it's dead as a doornail.
I the battery tender was plugged in, but the GFI had tripped.
Arrrrgh!!!!!

I like the new GFCI with the little LED light to let you know it is on.

No kick and I'd have to push it up a gravel driveway onto the street to bump start it.

Could try and jump it but the battery is buried in there and don't know if I could possibly get the + without arcing to the frame.

It's charging now. Maybe this afternoon.
I just like the solitude of an early Sunday morning ride.

Well enough Sean!

I'm trying to diagnose my jobsite tablesaw, since I can't go for a ride.

How are you? And what's up in New Hampshire today?
