Shoveling snow if the weather mans is correct! How much they predicting for you folks? Little to no accumulation here they say. Probably get dumped on instead. Couple inches Saturday night, last night it just rained and was windy. More later in the week. I think the weather man is off on this front by a day or two.

Dead battery in the 17 Silverado. Which means I will have to partially disassemble the damn thing and need a dozen metric sockets to do so, before I can pry the friggin battery out. 🤬 I have a 2017. I feel your pain. Crazy how they buried that battery. Especially when there is a perfectly good spot for it on the drivers side where they have a place for an auxiliary battery. Its probably not that hard to swap out the battery if you have done 50 of them but the first time is a real pain especially if your somewhere other than next to your tool box. Would it not make sense to put your main battery where the auxiliary spot is??? Especially assuming one does not use that spot for its intended purpose????

Seems like typical high desert spring weather. Might rain, might snow, might just be cloudy. I hung my shower towel out to dry last night, figured it might get a rinse or it might get dry. Will smell nice either way.

It would take more modification than I would take on. There is a battery junction box that mounts on top of the battery. Quite a few cables and wiring might need to be moved. So its not just a matter of lengthening the battery cables. Its a real piece of work.

Passing through KY on our way down to Orlando for the week. Last year we drove each way in the dark. It’s been cool seeing everything green up and especially the dogwood come to bloom starting just north of Cincinnati through KY.

Been taking turns with dad in the hospital. He had some stents put in the other day and hasn’t stopped bleeding. He started getting real dizzy and wasn’t “all the way there”. Took him to the ER Thursday, and we are still here.

It is my sincere hope that whatever rotten sack of shìt came up with that bright idea for battery placement, has to spend an eternity replacing Silverado batteries.

Every mechanical engineer should be required to spend 2 years with the workers who use of their product, and 2 more with the repair folks, before they are allowed NEAR a pencil.
