I still watch it, fast forward a lot to be honest... I can't even do that much with Robby any more lol.

So the off road games hasn't much of a explanation, rules and such.

Matts announcement, the part with him speaking anyway says experienced and non experienced you tubers will be in the wreckers. Doesn't say who's driving. But it's a you tube celeb thing.

The owners must be required split up the driving.. I'm assuming that part anyway.

That is also my assumption. We still may go down and pass out cards (transmissions). Also thinking of getting some shirts made with our logo, and hope they get some screen time on various channels.

My 3 year battery has seen little use due to trans and engine replacements, and got low enough a couple times that for my wonderful new modern charger to repair and refill it, I had to trick it into seeing over 10Vdc with a brief paralleling from a.good battery.
UPSHOT: I'll need a new battery $emi-$oon.
So I thought, it's an opportunity to be done with that and get a 10 year lithium. So I start studying despite knowing a fair amount of them.
1- They hate Sub-Zero so I can't drive east. NO PROB THERE! 🤣 (Lot'sa Teslas now are not working at all.)
2- They aren't the best at heavy surges, so sizing may need to be looked at.
3- They draw heavily until almost charged, which at low rpm can damage an alternator if it is small, unless a DC-DC charger is added between. (Want a bigger alternator too.)

This tutorial has a few pages on lead acid and many on lithium for RV's etc.
https://info.discoverbattery.com/lithium-101

Is there a battery sub-forum here? I'm tired of 3 year lead acids, and their low capacity. This could be my very last battery buy. One and Done.

I've heard where some places have laws that even though the sidewalk in front of ones house is public land, places put in laws that make the closest homeowner responsible for clearing it. Is that true?

If your neighbor blew all their snow into your driveway (like in the Goofy Christmas movie) what recourse does one have? What would a jury uphold?
It is against the law here to send it into the road but people do it regularly including me
If my neighbor blew his snow onto my driveway, I'd blow his plus mine back onto his driveway
Somebody would need to get punched in the head to get criminal charges and a jury involved

I often battle with the snow plow. I remove it from my driveway entrance, they move other snow in it's place. Then I send it right back out there. If you don't keep it clear, you will get stuck if it keeps snowing.
