I'm doing fine. How are you?
To: NicknamedBob
I've done all that...rocking it was one of the first things I tried. Then my neighbor tapped it a couple of times with his "equalizer"...a pick-axe handle.
So the next step, of course, is to "pop-start" it. Tomorrow. My neighbor, though willing to help, is not very knowledgeable when it comes to vehicles. He thought the alternator was the starter...:o]

I'm a little frustrated, but I'm OK. I was hoping to be eating dinner at the Rain Forest in the MGM Grand, or someplace just as nice, but instead, I'm eating left-over chili in front of the TV...:o|

"He thought the alternator was the starter." They are designing vehicles, or engines, where the alternator is the starter, but it won't be belt-driven. On those power plants, they plan to increase the operating voltage to perhaps forty-eight volts.
I don't know if I want to predict this or not, but it should be possible to connect two such vehicles in series to operate many standard kitchen resistance-heating appliances such as electric skillets or coffee makers. One could do this with twelve-volt cars, but it would take about eight of them.

I had pretzels tonight.
To: NicknamedBob
I've baked a potato or two from Point A to Point B, but that's about as "kitchen friendly" as I want my vehicle to be, thanks!

Just regular pretzels. I'll have to figure out what to have for dinner. I can't just eat pretzels. LOL!
To: Irish_Thatcherite; Monkey Face
Pretzels are basically sticks that taste like flour, but they have a lot of salt on them. So the salt drowns out the rest of the taste. LOL!
To: tuliptree76
It's malt flour, if I'm not mistaken...

I'm predicting that before long, vehicles will have microwave ovens in them.
Naturally, along with that, one would want to have a small refrigerator. Some vehicles already have them.
A handy thing to have would be a system to collect, and purify, rainwater. Most of us live in areas where it rains occasionally. It could also capture the condensate water which drips off your air-conditioner.
It seems rather silly to arrive at a scenic overlook, after dripping water for a hundred miles, and not have anything to drink. I like the secure feeling I would have, too, if I had a vehicular breakdown but knew I had at least a gallon or so of drinking water.

Pretzels must have not made it to Ireland.
To: NicknamedBob
In the desert, one learns to have at least a gallon of water for every person who is in the car. Desert training, of course. "Just in case."
