    Anything volt and amp related is above my pay grade. Inverters and hotel loads just seem to be hard on batteries no matter how good of care I try to take of them. The apu keeps the batteries fully charged and I run the truck when using anything like a microwave or coffee pot but a little over two years is all I ever get out of a set. I tend to lose them in high heat. After 2 years I just replace them whenever I find some on sale. I got burned one time for about 850.00 for a set in Ohio one time and I ain't letting that happen again. Lol

    Trying to feel sorry for these folks, but I keep thinking of reefer drivers who post here on TTR. They sometimes get stuck a cold storage DC for 36 pulse hours, then have to fight to get paid for detention time with a broker or shipper even after the driver having to pay out of their own pocket for lumper fees.

    Only trouble with eating boiled okra is the having to clench at the exact time you swallow, or it goes straight through.

    Hundreds of battery powered cars low on power stranded and helpless saving the world. Nothing like a little petroleum when the #### hits the fan. You would think all these people trying to save us from the weather would watch it every now and then.

    Every toilet in our house was plumbed to get half cold and half hot water as well.
    Being on a deep well, our water is really cold.
