Good morning!!!!

Tuesday, driving home from work after dark, i noticed my headlights would occasionally flash brighter. Also got a check engine light, code P0142 low voltage. The other thing is my gas mileage has dropped way down.
This is my honda with 350k miles, not sure i want to spend much to investigate. Replaced alternator last yr. Not sure what is causing the lights to flash.

Bad diode in alternator will do that.

Up early, went out to a business group mixer at a local brew pub. Beer was great. Food sucked. Hardly any people in the place, but it was snowing outside. Didn’t sleep well, so got up early, I prefer sleeping until at least 6, but I made coffee at 4:30. Looking at more snow plowing in my future, and if I didn’t have my Kubota, I’d be screwed. 1 to 3 inches plus what we had last night. Amateur hour compared to some of you guys, but enough for me!��

Aren’t these golden years great?! LOL
22 going to 50ish.
Warm wet weekend coming, I’ll take warm.

PJ, music quality is great but like Ron, I haven’t listened to long hair in years. Currently got ZZ Top Legs streaming, trying to wake up. I love the little old band from Texas!

TGIF, weekend orders are, get well have a good time!

RNG's Vanagon expert has been in the elite club for a couple of years now with instant excuse for every delay

And he's not done yet, Eric. Yesterday's excuse had something to do with a clutch throwout bearing, a Subaru turbo clutch, and an RJS bell housing not fitting up the way they need to. And once again, all the parts have been sitting in his shop for at least a year...:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

30°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 55° today. Bottom falls out again over night tonight, and we'll be frozen and miserable for the weekend.

Not a Popping Johnny, but funny nonetheless:

Good Morning!!!! 59F @ 7:00AM. Partly cloudy. Near record high temperatures. High near 70F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

We've broken the high temperature record two days running so far, and there's another chance at it today. Not looking forward to this summer.

If your lights are flashing in time with hitting road bumps, Buckeye, you've got a loose or rusted connection somewhere. I'd start with the headlight switch, unless you're seeing other things flash, then either something in the charging system or the battery connections. Happy hunting!

The stock market has erased all the gains made since last November's election, and is now officially in correction territory. It's also returned to the historical average rate of gain, so perhaps things will settle down soon. Been using the declines to take nibbles with an S&P index fund, and someday I'll look back and probably wish I'd taken bigger bites.

Got a call from the mechanic yesterday at about 8:30PM, but didn't want to ruin an otherwise pleasant evening by answering. Probably wants me to machine up an adaptor of some sort to bandaid his problem.:pullinghair:

Made arrangements for the new homeowners policy yesterday. Still well over double the old rate, but better coverage with a smaller but well rated company. Hopefully there will be more options next year if competition increases as new companies enter the market. My guess is there's a huge demand after last year's fires, and with another blazing summer on the way, fire weather will be back, too. The only saving grace is that so far the lack of rain has kept the brush from growing so much, a major factor in last year's troubles due to the record rainfall then.
