Off-topic stuff…

Always fun buying a fresh gallon of gas for the snow blower in my R1T. Love the looks I get from the attendant in town. "1 gallon plz".
My grill cover is telling me about 18" so far, and it's supposed to keep falling tonight and into tomorrow in the Northeast, as the storm wraps and draws moisture off the ocean.

Lovely. We landed at 8-9 overall and apparently we have freezing mist coming overnight

We ended up with about 6” on Saturday evening / Sunday morning.
No ice/sleet/freezing rain.
Didn’t need to pull the snow blower out or warm up its batteries.
Didn’t need to hook up the plow to the truck.
And didn’t need to run the house from the truck.
Did need to do a bit of cleaning of the solar panels.
All is good.

oh and @Colton_Scout80 we are getting visits from your fellows once roads are passable again. Our heat pump seems to be on its way out and we are getting quotes for a replacement. I'm beginning to understand how you can afford all those Scouts!

In the same boat of getting quotes for a heat pump to replace a forced are electric furnace… watching the meter spin really fast was fun once but not anymore…

Ended up with 12-14 inches in southwestern PA. Got a path cleared in the driveway and the vehicles dug out… expecting more snow in a day or two.

Well, at most this storm was excuse to sleep in and stay at home a bit more. We had ice on roads, but only in places and not for all that long. We have had about 2.5 days without real heat in my house (Aux does not work, and the heat pumps don't do cold well), but a single space heater has kept us from gong under 66 degrees in our main rooms (my bedroom was cold last night though, I forgot to keep the door open, so little of that heat made it in. Still, extra blanket and it was warmer than the corners of the RV I used to full time in (I got a scrooge sleeping cap for that back corner - had an electric blanket too, but it released the magic white smoke eventually) .

Out doing rounds this morning, some guy stopped me to ask questions about my car, it nothing special, but he liked that it looked “normal” and just had a bunch of questions about Electric cars. I asked if he ever heard of the old scouts, when he said yeah I told him there coming back and told him to give them a look a see what he thinks about the design

If we aren’t talking about Scout everyday really what’s wrong with us?

I interact with 50 to 100+ people almost daily now, I can’t imagine the questions if I were to get my scout in the early months, but I’m prepared! I’ve been talking and helping people understand EVs since I drove the Amazon Rivians

It’s a grassroots effort and the more we engage the better sales go and so on and so forth

A friend knows a like to collect hotwheels & Matchbox of EV trucks, they saw a red Silverado EV from Mtachvox and ordered it my house. This is what showed up, and I’m not sure if I should add this to the wall or not

A fun little update to this! I ended up at the dodge dealer this morning, and the guy was there, I didn’t recognize him, but my scout beanie gave me away, he had just tested positive drove a Charger EV and was looking into a lease, our chat yesterday

I know there are people here who would love this as much as I do!

Bert The Turtle Plush

''Duck and Cover'' is a civil defense social guidance film produced for the Federal Civil Defense Administration and widely distributed to schools during the 1950s all the way to 1991 and the end of the Cold War. The film, narrated by actor Robert Middleton, uses the story of Bert and his shell...

I also ordered a Bert the Turtle sticker, as well as "I survived the Cold War" and Fallout Shelter stickers. Getting a stack ready for the Scout

Good call.

My son bought us all tickets to go to the movie tomorrow night. I am not a fan of scary movies but I’m going. Apparently it’s based on a video game, involves a lake of blood and he said it will be the movie with the most blood in the history of movies!

An interesting concept.

In a post-apocalyptic future after "The Quiet Rapture" event, a convict explores a blood ocean on a desolate moon using a submarine called the "Iron Lung" to search for missing stars/planets.

Good family bonding time

Family bonding. Is that what they call it when one family member has the face of another pressed to their chest out of fear.
