I'm sit'n here look'n at the keyboard....think'n. "Poosh a button Billy Bob...write something".
Ya see, I Ben down in the dumps for so long, I just got tired of try'n. Figgered I would take me a break.....post some pics from 11 years of travels an' let it go at that. But dad gum it, even that is hard....you know, chos'n what photos to post that might be of interest to somebody. I had no intention of shut'n down "Billy Bob's Place....jist tak'n a short break.
Ain't got no news from Deming what would interest anybody. Just everyday "do'n nuttin" stuff. A "travel blog" don't write bout "do'n nuttin". "Wait just one cotton pick'n minute Billy Bob, Billy Bob's Place ain't no travel blog....it's a life an' times Billy Bob blog".
Even though I added a few things to my "to do" list, there is only bout 6 left. Yeah, I been mark'n 'em off one at a time.
Now I have a confession to make. 'Member them 4 golf cart batteries I bought last year to replace the ones I run slap out of water? Well, I did it again. I ain't never in my life had to put 2 gallon water in 4 batteries. I'm think'n I murdered a set of new house batteries. Grrrrrrr.....I suck.
The solar charge controller says the batteries are charged (14.6 volts), but the real test will be on my first boondock'n trip.
Ok, so why the hell did I run out of water? That's simple, I didn't check the water level like ya supposed to do every month. Old age ya know....forget stuff or just plain lazy.
Have ya ever hear of AGM batteries? These batteries are 100% maintenance free. That is unless ya want to clean the corrosion off'n the external terminal post once or twice a year. Even if'n ya break the case, there is no loss of electrolyte. It's all absorbed in the glass matt between the plates. But they expensive. So are wet cell batteries when ya murder them and have to replace. Be'n I'm a rather old fart that forgets stuff, my next set of batteries will be AGM's. Just not today.
Looks like today will be my first opportunity to go swak some golf balls. A week of rain like to have flooded the local golf course. Gonna take old "pesky neighbor" Wayne with me. He ain't play a round in a couple years or so. "Don't forget the camera Billy Bob".

Hi, Billy Bob. I sure am glad to know that I won't be noticing a hole in my day if you don't post! Doesn't matter what you write about, what pictures you post, etc. It's all about the contact. Don't want to lose that. RVSue is having the very same battery issues. She also did not do the water maintenance, and is going for the expensive batteries. Have a great time with Wayne and the golf balls!
ReplyDeleteAs long as your batteries aren't sulphated your OK and if they are you can revive them. There are several ways to treat sulphated batteries. I have a whole house solar system and 8, L-16 batteries that I've abused for 9 years.
ReplyDeleteYou do know you are suppose to do the things on your "to do" list and not just mark them off, don't you?
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteGood one, DD,,,hahahaha
DeleteI suppose I ought to write down the battery stuff because none of it meant anything to me. The rest, I understand. My to-do list gets added to every day. Today, I added 15 lbs of bananas to the list and dehydrating bananas went to the top of the list and other things was pushed downward.
ReplyDelete@ gallons in 4 batteries ain't bad, I added 2 1/2 gallons in 2 batteries. Guess my solar controller isn't controlling like it should. My other system has four batteries and they haven't needed water in over a year, guess that controller is in charge.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to get AGM batteries when I had an RV but couldn't spend that much money at the time. They sound almost too good to be true.
ReplyDeleteMy AGM batts are doing great with no corrosion anywhere on them.
ReplyDeleteBut aren't they maintenance free to begin with Barney....
DeleteJoey read the blog above about corrosion on AGM terminals.
DeleteToo bad about them batteries, hope you get things all worked out,
ReplyDeleteAnd I just know you gonna have fun golfin!
Thanks for the public service announcement BB. Your "everyday do'n nuttin" blog post just might have saved my batteries. I just went out and checked mine and sure nuff a couple cells were low with the plates exposed. I had to add almost a quart. Next month Ill try and remind YOU. I hope yours are ok.
ReplyDeleteI clean the filters on my 3 wall ACs on the first of every month during use. Only way I can remember and not let them go too long.
ReplyDeleteO yeah, BB, my blog today is just for you,,,know you'll have a great time doing those...
