Battery in the truck finally crapped out. Since when does it take 30-45 minutes to swap batteries? Have to take this apart, move this, weird angle to get these bolts. All the while, big empty space in thr front left of the engine compartment.
Making batteries as inaccessible as possible is a hallmark of cars manufactured this century.
I follow him on Instagram and it’s one of my favorite follows. He posts old photos from his time in the WH quite a bit but he also posts some great shots of nature and cities he is in. He will take pics with his iPhone as well.
Since when does it ONLY take 30-45 minutes to change a battery?
I should probably figure out how to pop the hood on my 2017 being that I never have. Just in case
Check behind the engine between the wipers where they had inconveniently located the battery on my previous Audi. Pop a little hatch and see a smaller hatch with a big red + on it. Getting close I think so pop the smaller tap over. And it is just a positive post. No battery. Give in and get manual out. What I had found was a jumper post, also had a matching negative one over by fender. And battery is in the trunk. Under a cover that's under the tire that's under the trunk floor hatch that's under my WeatherTech trunk liner.
Ahem. WBB did fairly well against Texas, too. It was on a real channel - ESPN2. Like the men, they couldn't quite get it together for a whole game. I see promise in both teams.
I remember trying to jump someone with my GMC Terrain. The battery had a red terminal and a separate negative post in the frame. Took a while to figure that out in the dark.Went to attached leads from battery minder to Das Audi last week. It just sits so much I have to treat it like a stored or hibernated car. Pop the hood and I am all "Where's the battery?"
Also looked up new battery stuff and apparently Das Audi has some sort of "smart" electrical system that adjusts to old batteries. If you just drop a new battery in the car brain still thinks it is old will not charge it fully. Needs to have something reset to tell car brain it's a new battery and it take a full ass charging. Of course, not something you can just reset yourself like the smarty pants tire pressure thingie.
Was thinking some snow pics and not ready for birds. So my day did not totally suck.
Time to start XC skiing box. Sounds like someone is interested.Did slow photography walkabout at Teddy Wirth Park. Was walking across board walk and a big hawk dived into the snow bank about 50 feet from me. Me, fumbling with gloves and locked lens missed the shot with the hawk taking off again too quickly for me to grab a shot.
Did get this from a gal cross country skiing "That's the greatest mustache I've ever seen!"
