Could be a heat wave next week, might see 50*...going to be wet tho.
They're talking 60's over here on the first coast. Won't break my heart if it happens. The trees here are still full of leaves and hanging low with all the snow.
Anybody tried those battery kits on ebay for rebuilding cordless tool battery's?
I used to work for Interstate, and the store rebuilt packs all the time. All I can say is be careful with the eBay stuff, because you (usually) get what you pay for with cells. Brand-name only for me. ..

50° here at ~9000' today and yesterday. Of course, I had to run into town last evening, and thought I'd wash the muddy haze off my wife's Jeep, and as I pulled out of the car wash bay, it was snowing. Eh, it's still cleaner than it was before.
In other news, I finally decided to install my seat heaters. They've only been sitting in the box for a year or so.
Here I was worried about having to run a switched-power lead, and Ford put one right under each seat for me!
The WHT/LTBLU wire stops on the chassis-side of the connector, though, so I'll have to cut it and use insulated spade connectors. I'll be sure to do it far enough back, though, that I can re-join them later if I end up with factory heated seats out of a Navi or something later.
On high, each heater draws 4A at 12VDC, so at 14V it may be 4.66A. Total load is still under the 10A fuse rating, so I should be fine, especially since it's only me in the truck 95% of the time, If it doesn't hold, I'll just put in a 15A fuse.
OK, no, I won't. I'll use that wire to trigger a relay to switch the other large-gauge always-on wire (the red one in the plug) and use that for the actual power source.
The driver's seat is done except for the single wire connection and bolting it back in. Passenger side should take much less time, but that'll be saved for next weekend. Too much other crap to catch up on today.

50s here. Was sunny this morning now clouds are moving in. Doesnt feel too bad. Still some leaves on trees here too but the wind has gotten the best of them. I should have washed my truck on friday knowing we were gonna have several days of dry weather

I like to see them win, but I don't remember the last full game I watched (with any team). I followed them when I was a young during the Kardiac Kids era and beyond, but not seriously. Once they left, in '96 I lost interest
