We went to the "Hot Rod Palooza" in Wayne on Saturday. Got there around 7:30am and left at noon because it was too damn hot. Got home in the A/C, Judy laid on the couch and I sat in the recliner and ZAP we were gone.

It was really humid on Saturday. I am glad that you guys left and made sure that your health was more important. Hope you had some fun for the time you were there.

Tried to take mine out today. Won't turn over even with a jump box. Think the battery is toast. Get the battery test tomorrow.

I put a yellow top Optima in mine last spring (2015) cuz the old one froze to death over the winter. Best move I ever did, this one has 850 cold cranking amps.

Had a red top optima, with battery tender on it. But I left it off a few months back and drained the battery completely dead. It never recovered. New one is around 180 dollars.

I've got an old fashioned lead/acid battery that's probably over 10 years old and it's still going strong. I keep an maintainer on it over the winter.
