PO's me to no end

[Caustic Burno]

A dead battery can PO me fast. I either run everything here regularly or have a maintain charger on it.
I am OCD to the extreme on batteries and tires.
Got into spring cleaning up the yard, got ready for the zero turn and it won't crank.
Cranked and ran it last week guess this last cold snap killed it.
Bought the battery on the dang thing middle of last summer and it wasn't one of the cheap ones.
O'rielly will make it good it just involves taking it out and hauling it to town.

For a guy who grew up with no electricity and wrote on stone tablets you think you'd be more forgiving about electricity. Haha

You sure know how to pick a sore subject. Batteries are crap now a days IMO.

You have grass to mow? I feel a strange mix of envy/sympathy.

 

[Nesikep]

Dead batteries are a PITA, but what I find more frustrating is jumper cables that snap off and don't make a good connection, weak clamps, and the ilk

I agree . It ticks me off when I get on something and it won't crank.

I agree . It ticks me off when I get on something and it won't crank.

If I wasn't so anal about upkeep it wouldn't PO me so bad. I just hate to drive 20 miles round trip and
loose an hour to an hour half to get a battery.
There is a new one on the zero turn and the wife is busy cutting grass.

You know what the Germans say. There are liars, good liars and battery engineers!

I find things that are left turned on. I always blame someone else until I realize I was the last to use it.

This was dead battery year for me to. Replaced two on truck, one on tractor, one on mule, one on lawn mower and one on my wife's work vehicle. Only good thing is that they had all lasted many years.

I bet Caustic wasn't mowing any grass today, but he'll have the tractor running monday trying to grade the washed out roads...Dang it rained hard and long today.

It still is raining hard here.
That 77 Massey is set on go. Looks like another above normal rainfall month.
What scares me is it will stop about April. Wish we could scatter some of this out through
the summer.

I went to auction at Livingston yesterday--rained from the minute I left Cleveland till I got back and most of the night.
Not much there in the way of breds or pairs, tho there were a couple of bred Angus that went higher than I would be willing to reach. I took 2 brothers-in-law with me to give my sisters a day off--both have alziemers one a little--the other, a LOT, so I couldn't pay much attention, but prices seemed lower than last time I went. Somebody sold off a little bunch of Highlands that went dirt cheap--a bull, steer, cow and calf. First I've seen around here. We didn't stay for the calves very long--oldest b-i-l kept wanting to bid so I had to get him out of there. We went and ate catfish instead.
They will have a 8 bunch of Brangus bulls next weekend--from Splendora according to the auctioneer.
Wind just turned out of the NW here--hope it blows this crap out. I need to do some road work too, but it has to be dry--just makes a mess trying to grade it wet and soggy.

I had planned on going yesterday cousin passed away earlier in the week so I was standing in the cemetery up at Apple Springs.
By the time that was over all I wanted to do was go to the house and get dry.
