Where are we today ?
Another wonderful warm, sunny day and still inspired to get a few more outdoor items taken care of. Today's maintenance project is to remove our Trojan house batteries. Wash then down, clean up the wires and terminals then top up with distilled water. I do this at least twice a year. The batteries are still in good shape only about 1 cup of water in each. They were replaced about three years ago. Original house batteries lasted over 7 years. |

A walkabout after supper and read for a short while then in the house, to finish my posting.
Suzie loves these loafs that we occasionally pick up at the Pinery Market. So need to sample a tiny bite.

| very tasty, like a loaf, not too sweet |
Thanks again for stopping by.

Yep! We sure understand preventative maintenance... both about our rig and our own bodies! I wish a cup of water every few thousand miles would recharge MY batteries ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt does pay off and even water for ourselves helps too.
DeleteYes, my batteries are on my hit list as well before we leave. Enjoy what is left of this weather.
ReplyDeleteSoon its that time, get everything done, before we hit the road.
DeletePaul believes actually as you do. He is always doing preventive maintenance. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThese chores save surprises on the road.
DeleteI'm definitely going to try your sweet potato with those apples and cinnamon. It definitely looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteVery tasty, one of Suzie's favorites.
DeleteWhoa George, that food dish sure looks good. Would be just right for me. Hehe...
ReplyDeleteA very tasty meal it is.
DeleteThink I've just decided what I'm having for supper tonight. The rain should stop around noon! Thanks George!
ReplyDeleteIts pretty easy to throw together too.
DeleteAlways impressed here. Only ever done tenderloin (whole) in the oven after browning. Your way looks to be just about similar in terms of the proceedure. Checking the internal temp is easy peasy.
ReplyDeleteAs you know I like to use our Weber Q and you have one too. This way it is seared and cooked right there on the Q easy and quick, bonus no pots and pans either.
DeleteI've got the battery thing on my to-do list but I'll probably wait for another month to do the maintenance as we won't be heading south until sometime in Dec. Good reminder though, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou take care of your batteries and they will take care of you.
DeleteI am lucky that I can get at my batteries from the top without having to slide them out. Makes it much easier. Twice a year is my schedule as well.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if my batteries were that accessible, but at least I can get at them.
DeleteIt's hard to beat a good PM program for any machine. Your dinner looks delicious - I've never had sweet potatoes and apples like that. We just has a very good pork tenderloin the other night as well.
ReplyDeleteDinner was very tasty, Love the sweet potatoes like that, so tasty and easy o do.
DeleteYes George, maintenance on the batteries are on our to do list. In fact, I plan to look into that in the next week or so. It seems you are well prepared to head south now.
ReplyDeleteWe do a bit at time, as the days get closer, not rush and no stress it just gets done.
