Anypony here ever use one of these new-fangled LiIon portable jumper packs? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IQK6LI0?psc=1 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...604e84fb67.png Do they really maintain a useful charge for many months of storage untouched in a freezing cold trunk? Asking for a friend whose '04 with a six month old East-Penn battery almost didn't start tonight, despite the temperature being well above 0°F. (Yes, he knows to check the alternator output under load. No, he hasn't done it yet because he can't find his damn Fluke 77 at the moment.) |

I'll try and update with a link when I get home later. Edit: This is the one I have but unavailable now. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b65d4e19b0.png |

Id bet the limitation will be in the extrusion and not the top hat.
Remove the top hat things if you want the rail as low as possible.................... http://www.absurdflow.com/miata/klde/fuelrails1.jpg http://www.absurdflow.com/miata/klde/fuelrails4.jpg |

I've been looking all over the place for one of my 1TB external hard drives for days. Turned my office upside-down, searched every spot in the house I could think of, dug all through my car... Finally found it this morning in a drawer in the kitchen. Under what circumstances did I think that the drawer next to the silverware was an appropriate spot to put a hard drive?

If so, I'm gonna pick one up. Temps are getting down into the 0°-10°F range (supposed to be -15° on Sunday) and it's getting really hard to start in the evening after work. On the plus side, I found the Fluke this evening. Hard to believe that something that tiny and light can deliver enough juice to turn an engine... Fun fact: suction-cup windshield mounts don't work at all at 9°F. |

Ah, well... The replacement OptiPlex 7040 should be here tomorrow, and the ASUS touchscreen arrived today, so we'll see how hard its going to be to un-fuck myself from yesterday's fiasco. Oh, and progress: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...3abb2e7643.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...4d0515ec8d.png https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d6af3f9b36.png This should be the last custom part I need to have fabbed to make it all go together: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a6dcfa8c1e.png Ordered 16 of them, should be here in about a week. |

This was right in front of my driveway today. I pulled the truck out of the road, and the merc out of the ditch. It is a shit show. Road is solid ice. I drove up through the field instead of the road.

Does it still perform well after having been left in freezing weather for several months?
I just looked for the highest power rating at the time. https://smile.amazon.com/uxcell-Port...starter+jumper https://smile.amazon.com/NOCO-GB40-U...starter+jumper |

I don't miss snow. In other news, I saved big and scored an ACDELCO map sensor replacement on amazon. What's weird is when I checked a while ago it was more expensive than rock auto. Now it's $60 less on amazon, Order Sent! :party: |

It's like the idiots that complain, "Why can't I drive 85 in a torrential downpour on Star Specs? These tires suck!" |
Being a firefighter in the winter is always amusing.
People are at peak stupidity when it is cold, or really anytime the weather is bad. My "house" is pretty in the winter: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a1859e6290.jpg Also, my dog likes snow: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...7310333220.jpg |

And I think I just heard gunfire. Six and a half years after this post, I'm the director of engineering at WGN, and responsible for making sure that the aforementioned news of a bunch of dudes hitting a little round rubber disc into a net with a stick more times than some other bunch of dudes is nationally televised. Life is weird... |
