And, you can knock that down by half when you're in a Michigan winter and get hit by an Artic vortex. I don't imagine an August summer day in Texass with the air on wide open hauling a load will be much better.

Well shipmates, I hate to be a wimp, but the Sand Man is beating me to death. I guess I got too much fresh air this morning mowing the back field. Give yourselves a big hug for me (I said hug, not tug, Hopper) and I'll see you all in the morning.

I get it once a year after my yearly physical as a rewardOne of my favorite breakfast foods
Over easy eggs stuffed and covered with cottage cheese mixed with finely chopped sweet onions, with a sprinkle of Salad Elegance over the top.
I was unmercifully physically abused by my mother growing up and my dad only tore into me twice, but I was left bruised and bleeding, soooo I never laid a hand on either of my children to break the cycle of abuse. Since my ex-wife had custody, they were typically on good enough behavior when we were visiting that it wasn't necessary.
I did take a belt to the 17 year old son of the woman I was living with as a last resort, after in desperation I told him he wasn't too big to spank and he told me I wasn't big enough. Unfortunately it didn't have the desired effect and instead he wanted to kill me in retaliation.
I've come to believe the truth is somewhere in the middle. Nothing focuses the mind and attention as fast as a swat across the butt, but beatings as the answer to every infraction just made me tougher, resentful and more sneaky, besides diminishing my regard for my parents.
Having driven an all-electric for a few years, I can affirm that the rated range is a number calculated in Heaven. Our 2013 Focus is old technology and only rated for 77 miles range. I infer that is based on a flat track at a standard temperature and speed, because it is less if you drive hills, cold weather, or fast.
The thing is a computer on wheels, so it keep track of how and where you drive, computes average mileage, and when you turn it on it tells you about how far you can expect to drive based on the temperature and your past driving record.
The Joker in the deck is regeneration because every time you let up on the gas petal it recharges the battery, as well as when you apply the brakes short of a panic stop. I've been at the top of Sylvan pass showing less that 10 miles remaining charge and arrive home 12 miles later with over 20 miles reserve left.
The Jeep is our saving grace when we need it, but it has seen less than 1000 miles for the last two years, with most of the mileage on the Focus. I have a hard time envisioning and electric truck doing the same job I have typically used my trucks for and the places I have taken them.
Goooode mawning! 47F @ 82% RH, partially cloudy, and predicted to reach 55F heah.
Hee, hee, hee, I made cottage eggs for breakfast, and I forgot to warm my cottage cheese to room temperature before mixing in the finely chopped Walla Walla Sweet onion and adding it to the eggs. While my chef friend joining us was polite and kind enough to clean his plate, there were no compliments passed.
Making my new upper plate work without removing the remaining two implants is getting problematic and vee vil zee................. Yesterday's adjustment helped, but I fear not enough................

Morning Misfits. I am not a cold Pizza fan.
I was abused as a child....that is why I never touched my daughter...there are other ways to discipline a child.

My mom was crazy abusive too. Maybe it came from her raising idk but I couldnt wait to leave the house and vowed as a little girl to never treat my kids like that.
NORMY comes from being beaten with a baseball bat I betDamnt. And i ate a Sausage,Egg and cheese biscuit instead of cold pizza.
