My super deluxe battery caps came last week.  Kate snapped pictures (and forced me to make hand gestures) while I installed the caps and watered the batteries.  I hope they reduce my water loss because I’m adding a lot more water than I expected.

Leaky, dangerous before and dry, clean after:

Note: the before picture clearly shows leaking from the old caps.

I’m no logger a full time blogger. I’ve found new employment within driving range of the RAVolt (18.5 miles to be exact). While my blogging time may be reduced, I’m still fully passionate about it!

Hmmm… Gas is still about $3/gallon even though crude prices are up over 20%.  We’re officially in the election year.  Fill your tanks now.

BTW: I bought gas for our minivan today.  Did you ever notice how bad gas smells?  Yuck.

I bet you did not know that an electric car was responsible for the first auto fatality!  Of course, that was just 108 years ago.  Car technology has come a long way, but driver engineering is lagging.
