I agree, here are Autumn views of Hebden Bridge in Calderdale, UK. The colours ąt this time of the year are truly wonderful. Note the double rainbow in the first image.

Got it a new battery. This is what a factory fresh battery looks like before it is activated. It is AGM and not flooded.

I bought this toy after realising my multimeter has a minimum voltage capability but this displays simultaneously the minimum voltage and also the actual voltage, so it shows what happens while cranking and then the output from the regulator.
The voltage of the battery fell to 7 volts.

Beautiful. Would love someday to tour the UK and Ireland. The wife's grandfather came to America from Ireland.

I am also of Irish decent, and found Ireland to be rather vanilla...been there twice. London on the other hand...been there twice as well...is pretty freakin' spectacular.

YMMV

If it's not Scottish, it's crap...

My father's side of the family is Scottish, the Sutherlands. I would love to tour Scotland someday, problem is I'm running out of days...

I understand the short days issue, I turn 70 my next Bday. I can feel the difference, sadly.

Are Yuasa generally good batteries? It seems they die quite quickly when they are OEM.
