    Battery based vehicles of today and tomorrow pt 2

    Sure. But if you use it around town or the local area, who cares about range. Just plug it in each night.

    Oops. Bad math. $.385 + $.184 = $.569/gal $.569/gal x 11,000mi/yr x 1gal/30mi = $208. This assumes equivalent of 30mpg gascar and 11,000 miles/yr average. So the $200 fee still seems not far off…….

    $.18 federal gas tax times 11000 miles is $1980. So if 11000 miles is close to average (who knows this?) then our $200 fee is close.

    It is true you can't just pull over any old place and charge your car. It takes some planning.... to charge where the chargers are. It is not impossible. You present a case where someone did not plan ahead. For those incapable of planning ahead, EVs are not yet for them. There is no right...

    Charging stations are all over. Look at chargepoint.com. Finding one is not the issue. Time spent charging is.

    Exactly the opposite here. In my hometown there is a “chargepooint” charger at the town hall parking lot. Rate is set by the local utility and is exactly the rate of daytime (on peak) electricity at my house. Also searching the “chargepoint” map, i find many FREE charging locations!!

    Rotary Cutter Sharpening the blades

    Yep, sharpen mine every few years also. Sharper blades work better in the heavy stuff and take less tractor HP.........

    Are prices like this everywhere?

    Me too. I removed/changed/installed tires (from craigslist) myself and only had the local shop balance them for me - $40 plus tax for all 4.

    Are prices like this everywhere?

    Yes, normal prices. We have been taking our Tesla to the service center for some warranty work. In the lobby there is a sign that says, 'Labor rates $195/hr' Just about exactly your $100 for half hour...........

    Nuclear fallout information

    Yeah, while I am sure fatjay was just whatiffing or posting for pure discussion, the possibility certainly does exist of nucular (dubbya) winter. But at the same time I doubt Putler really would initiate that. He is certainly a sick twisted F---. And he certainly has a demented sense of the...

    So maybe just sign up to letting them use your access. But then each night sneak over and pan the tailings!?

    Gold mining on adjacent property

    Ask a reasonable fee for the use. Trying to get too much will just make them to go to court.

    Tiny house as a first home solution for my son?

    Things on skids build equity there!? Here that is considered temporary and adds no equity. It is treated like a car on the property that has a value of its own and can be sold separately……

    Don’t be too sure there are no plans to get them back to work. Government wheels turn slow. But I have it on good authority our federal leaders are thinking very hard about this and how it looks to have so many employees at home. And for those not familiar with feds and politics, its all...

    Second Cutting?

    I could never figure out the purpose of a tedder. Doesn't it just 'fluff' the hay around dislodging the leaves in the process? Doesn't a rake do the same without such drastic flinging off of the leaves? I had always thought the leaves were the best part of the hay. I am probably missing...
