EV runs out of juice, pushed by coal miners
DC tourist ran out of battery in the middle of a remote West Virginia road on Friday, near a coal mine on Mettiki Coal access road U.S. 48, a few miles outside of Davis, according to WTRF.
From FaceBook:
Randy Smith on Friday Some days are just better than others. Today at our mine off Corridor H an electric car from DC ran out of battery at the road entrance to the mine. Someone called one of our foreman and told him a car was broke down in the middle of our haul road. He went to investigate and found out they had indeed ran out of juice coming from DC to Davis for a get away weekend. He then went back to the mine and got guys to push the car to the guard shack so they could plug in to charge. ... See more
Mackerel Tabby for the win!
Good Friday Morning!
Seems our rain is not on schedule... coming later in the day I guess...

Good morning! Lots of much-needed rain is falling from the sky this morning and is expected to last throughout the day.
Farmers and critters are rejoicing.
I hope everyone is doing well. The World Series starts tonight. Go ASTROS!
Still ridin’ with the fours.

Hang in there - it’s coming! We’re getting hammered right now. It’s been pouring hard for about 45 minutes and still going strong as I type this.
Great job, guys!! More ice cream for the Four Team!
My Wi-Fi has been on and off this morning. It actually started yesterday afternoon, but it seems to be a thing, here. Everything’s iffy but the overcast.
Anyway, I’ll be back in a bit. I need to get Charlie’s letter finished and out to the mailbox.
I see that on the radar... all of that activity is just about 25 miles to the West of us... Looking like the stiff winds from the NE are keeping it away for the time being...
Hopefully we will see some in the afternoon...
Looks like Houston is supposed to get it right around World Series traffic time.
I guess that means the roof is going to be closed. 😁
Given a choice in ice cream I pick “yes” over “no”. I even eat it in the winter.
Beat Philly!!
⚾️
Agreed!!

I was a big Astros fan back when the killer-Bs were playing. I sort of lost the fire when we moved out of the area.
But I won’t be rooting for the Phillies, for sure.
I’ve been a die-hard Astros fan for decades, spending countless afternoons and evenings at the Astrodome and Minute Maid Park (formerly and briefly known as Enron Field…hahahaha.) I even got up at around 4 a.m. to watch key games a couple of times when I was overseas.
I loved going to Enron when I worked at Reliant. I wandered over a couple of times after work and paid $15 to watch some good baseball.
Until Craig Biggio hurt his knee, nobody could hit a grounder between first and second. He or Jeff Bagwell would get the ball. Adding that to David Bell’s hitting, and it was good times in Houston. No ALCS wins, but good baseball.
Yep…they were fun to watch, but they’d break our hearts in the playoffs back then. 😏 At least they did win one pennant while they were still in the NL.
I didn’t know you worked at Reliant. Two of my good friends worked there.
I was a consulting PM working on their first B to C Web site. That was back when electrical utility competition was still being piloted.
Home from the water treatment plant. It was super interesting, in a biological waste sort of way.
So, I’m being told that NYCHA has a problem with a wild turkey infestation in Staten Island.
I’m thinking we have “unhoused” people who are going to want food for thanksgiving and we have a wild turkey infestation. Don’t these two problems solve each other?
But apparently it doesn’t work that way in NYC.
Yes, makes perfect sense to me!
