Goooode morning brothers and sisters!
Freezing rain yesterday and lots of rain predicted today, starting at 25F and predicted to soar to 44F and clear out all this ice and snow.
My second nerve block procedure is due this morning. I got multiple calls from the doctor and hospital yesterday to ensure that I would be able to make it in this weather. I just hope that they all do................

Odd, but while the bull would let me lead him by the nose across the road to the pasture, we kids had to stay away from the oinks when we fed them. They were dangerous.
HOOBOY.
Like John Wayne said,
"Life is hard. It's even harder when you're stupid."
Chicago is a graveyard of EV's. With the temperature as low as it is as you read this, EV's simply will not charge.
"Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent," said Tyler Beard, who has been trying to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon. "And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday."
Fads (eg: Buy an EV) and virtue signalling (eg: Buy an EV) are expensive and unproductive mistakes.

Chicago becomes a ‘graveyard’ littered with corpses of ‘dead robots’
As the late great John Wayne purportedly said, “Life’s hard; it’s even harder when you’re stupid.” The Midwest, accustomed to brutal winters, has been hit by an especially “bitter” storm; Chicago in partic...
beautius I tell ya
truly!
nope,
thats some dooshbag who stepped out for a photo op for a minute.
A real man is one driving a line truck outside in weather like this restoring power.
All day and nite
I have worked with muscle men.
I have worked with women who were tougher.
We rented our bulls as needed, but as a teenager I took care of two of our neighbors herds of Aberdeen and Herford, which included the bulls and they were as placid as the cows were. One of our neighbors raised Brahma and while we regularly rode horses around them with barely a notice, we didn't dismount and wander amongst them.
As far as pigs go, Hampshires are many eons evolved from the captured feral hawgs that you most likely grew up with back in the olden days when pig farming was just getting started. That was no doubt where the old observation that it was a mistake to fall asleep in the hawg pen originated.
The ones you grew up with probably looked more like one of these:
Good luck Brother ,
dress warm
21.6F and still dropping in fashionable North Florida this fine morning.
We cleverly keep our EV plugged in to keep the battery warm during freezing weather and take the Jeep. While plugged in we can run the heater as the EV sits locked up in the driveway, without the same worries running a gasoline car to maintain heat presents.HOOBOY.

Buying it to do our local running around eight years ago was one of the smartest things we ever did from a convenience and total cost per mile to operate standpoint. Fuel was a quarter of the cost and maintenance during that time was tire rotation and replacement, plus one horn with attendant wiring harness costing $650.
It is a mistake to assume that there is no niche for EV's, just as is the EV protagonist's belief that they are the great panacea.
One of the principle reasons that our EV has been such an unqualified success, is that we also have a Jeep GCL for longer distances, crappy roads, hauling, towing, and inclement weather. It is also way more comfortable, however not as handy in town, nor inexpensive to fuel and maintain.
Battery's are evolving at a rapid pace, but battery development and EV support infrastructure has a long way to go to challenge fuel.
What fries me is that I looked long and hard at converting an existing car to electric before purchasing one, after reading about the General Motors test of their first EV, and I don't see how they can justify the higher costs of EVs.
What the study showed was that they were cheaper to make due to no need for components like transmissions, as well as significantly cheaper to operate and maintain. GM dropped EV production at that time for simple financial reasons.
That reason was that the lower sales price, coupled with the attendant drop in replacement volume would have significantly lowered their annual sales and profitability.
Soooooo, is that extra money going into building infrastructure, R&D, or dispersed to management and investors as fortuitous extra normal profit?
