    Another EV thread. Portable Tesla charging stations

    For the trucks, more than that. I checked w/ my Chevy dealer how expensive to replace batteries for the upcoming Silverado EV package. They told me to expect 8 years of life out of the truck, and trade it in when the batteries run low, they'd cost 30 to 40k. Clean energy is a great idea, just...

    First Fall Cold Front

    This has been a normal old time Mississippi summer like back in the 60's and 70's. Hotter than hell with a 100's heat wave, with occasional rain breaks in between, and HUMID, the way it's supposed to be! I love it and I'm in my 60's. True, the Jackson area has gotten a tad too much rain causing...

    Holy Shite. My neighbors house JUST got struck by lightning.

    Same here, twice fishing down at Chandeleur. Both times presumably after the storms had finished. First time was in the morning, fishing off North Island, poles starting singing and the fiberglass skiffs were stinging our asses w/ the static electricity, we got the hell outta there and same...

    Going to be in St Louis week of 8/1-8/6 and the Cubs are in town for 3 of those

    If you have a handicap, parking is no issue, you can get close to the stadium, you could even park at Ballpark Village two years ago, don't know about now. Otherwise, plenty of parking under the interstate. I've never felt threatened there. Also, if you can, the all inclusive Red Jacket Club is...

Strong man, generous man that was always helping and giving. Thankfully the progression of his disease...

    OT: Ski Vacation

    Syonara, depends on what you want to spend, flights, renting a car, damn gas money, and most importantly, WHEN you will be there. I agree w/ Keystone and Breck. Both are very kid friendly, good ski schools, and most importantly wide *** open beginner ski areas for them to learn, especially...

    OT: Oil in the US. A true discussion, don’t do political ********.

    Question for DCD, we've all seen the advance of EV's, even now w/ pick up trucks, w/ reasonable ranges. The new Chevy EV looks bad ***. And I see companies making pledges to go Carbon free by so and so date, question is, have farming implements explored electrical power as a means of powering...

    OT: My Boy Scouts Need The Heppin Bizness

    The Horse shoe crabs at Cumberland were big enough to skate board on, they were all over. BTW, I did get one of the patches, any idea on how many of those you made? Not that I'm a patch trader or anything like that*
