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


There. I fixed it.
Good morning. I hope you had a good night. I was up almost two hours but went back to sleep without too many dreams. At least none that were as distressing as the lightning and thunder one, good omen though it was.
Crikey. This is Friday already.
Good Friday morning, Wordle Epople and good luck!
Two elimination words and I got it in three. I need to get another Twofer, because that status is still at the station with only five hits. (Maybe it needs a new engineer.)

Good morning. Kitteh is thinking about eating some birds.
It’s cold here. I need to eat breakfast and start getting dressed warmly to go work at the farm.
And congratulations on your Wordle success!
Good morning. Happy Friday.
We finally got snow yesterday. At one point the wind was really blowing. But nothing stuck.
It’s 28 fs outside right now. I guess it’s winter.
Nothing big on the docket today. Just owrk and eat. If we make it through today it will be 3 weeks without a seizure.
Speaking of 3.

Good morning.
That’s good news about no seizures!
Good grief. It IS winter.
And good job on your Triple!!
Thanks!
I need to head for the shower so I can get warm. My hands are like icicles.
Good luck on the farm today! I’ll be thinking of you, wishing I were right beside you, doing whatever you’re doing until we’re done. ;o]
Is this your last day, or will there be more in the next week?
Good Morning! What did the mechanic say?
Indeed!
Good Friday Morn!
Congrats on the 3-spots!
And great news about Princess... I didn’t have enough coffee to prevent myself from getting stumped (and forgetting about an out of place letter clue from row 2!!), and was lucky to wake up enough to manage a ‘Great’ 5-spot...

I’ll admit that after the information I got from my first two guesses there was a lot of “sit and stare.”
Yeah. I’ve driven a few of those in my day. Probably even that one for a few miles.
I need that magnet....
Great job! It wasn’t X/6 and that’s super!
My first two words were elimination words and they made the Triplet a shoo-in. Once I had eliminated some letters, the rest was almost easy.
Talk about ugly Christmas sweaters....
I love it!
And a Cheery X-Mas to you, too.
Nice!
The mechanic said it will be over $1,000, GAH. I mean, I said GAH.
More farm work today. It was sunny and pretty pleasant if you kept moving. We’ll probably do more next week. I said I’d call on Monday once we see the weather.
Wow. I hate car repairs. But they are necessary evils.
It’s going to be cold here for most of next week, so I’m not planning anything. If you enjoyed the farm work, I hope the weather cooperates next week for you!
It will be Thanksgiving with the Other Folks instead of Golden Corral, but I have a wicked plan up my sleeve.
Mona was over for a while today, and I asked her to come and help me set out the Nativities next week. I also promised we’d make pineapple cookies, so I’ll need to put in a Walmart order for delivery by Wednesday AM at the latest. I need butter, eggs, walnuts and brown and powdered sugars. I already have the pineapple. Oh. And baking powder!
Anyway, the wicked plan is to sabotage the meal with unexpected cookies! What a great plan that is!! The thing is, they can’t be stacked because they’re frosted. But they are Oh, So Yummy!! It’s been a long time since I made them.
I’ll be going with the Other Folks tomorrow afternoon to clean the chapel, but it was that or go with them to Walmart, and I’d rather do a service project.
