Not Unexpected

The days are getting quite chilly here in Michigan, although that is not unexpected.

Not Wanted

Although not unexpected, mornings like this are not wanted either!

Snow YUCK!!! You can see its still coming down against the old hounds black fur!

Lets run to the post office to mail @kus-knee's fruitcake!


I Knew From the Freezing Weather

It was time to winterize the tractor fuel!!

I haven't run the zero turn mower in months, so I knew it would barely turn over. I had two options, take out the battery and charge it, or bring up my early Christmas gift.

I Bought Myself a Christmas Gift

Yep this little bugger sure makes life easier. No more clamping to my vehicle's metal to jump start, all I have to do is connect it directly to the dead battery.

I bought a nicely sized, light weight jump box that can easily be stashed anywhere on your car body. They say it will do 20 jumps per charge. It actually chargers from your phone charger. It will fit anywhere, even in your vehicles.



I made a Video About it!!


All this running around got me hungry!!!

Went to a new place to me anyways lol.


Thanks for tagging along!

I recently bought one of the larger units like this. And was I surprised how well it worked. Thought it might be a gimic, but nope. I wondered about the smaller one, if it would start a vehicle well. Good to know it does work. Thanks for the excellent pitch.

I'm happy as pie with it so far!

Sounds like a cool tool to have and can be used for multiple things.

I've said it before and now I repeat ... I like how you organize your blog, I want to copy it (that is, to inspire myself) but I did not find the time for that, yet. I like your alert style and the fact that you can easily move from one subject to another, defeating the monotony. However, I most like because you live so close to a lake !!! This was my dream, which will remain unrealistic, just like many others. In the end, I have to tell you that you have destroyed a myth: wow, in the US the batteries can be broken ?!

Thank you for the kind words! I do tend to spend too much time on my blogs I suppose. I enjoy learning how to change the format to keep it interesting.

I do love the lake. Hope you will continue to stop by in the summer I share much more about being on the lake either in a boat, kayak or jet ski.

Oh yes even in the US a battery that isn't charged frequently tends to need a boost LOL!

Thanks again for the visit!

I wait the summer as much as you and I hope to be here to see your posts. Finally, we have something in common with the US, the same problem with uncharged batteries ...

I haven't had sushi in over a year, but that looks delicious. I need to get myself one of those for my zero turn mower.

Or just take it somewhere to get it charged again in the spring because the battery I have doesn't hold a charge for more than week.

I just saw this so sorry I'm late. Mine is a newer battery isnt isn't much better. That's the main reason I bought the jumper. I don't keep my mower at my house it is at a place where charging is not an option.

It ended up to be quite a beautiful Sunday, thank you. I can see that yours went nicely too.

Can I be jealous of your snow? Mine already went away.

I watched the video and I must say that it on my Christmas list to buy for someone. I like it a lot. I just checked out Amazon and it is $99.00 so I went ahead and ordered it and case. I told them the Old Man @old-guy-photos sent me. Be looking out for a big thank you from them. ;)

Can you send me one of those gorgeous sunsets? Pretty please?? With fruitcake on top?

Upped and Steemed

Hey I bet you will be surprised at how light that jump box is! I plan to keep it on the boat tucked away in the glove box. I could see bobbing around for a while and running my phone battery out. I can just plug in to this! Now I can eSteem all day from the water!

You know photos never do the sunsets justice. Nothing like floating on the waves, feeling their gentle rocking as the sun fades below the trees. Talk about relaxing! You are welcome for a sunset cruise anytime...just bring some FRUITCAKE!

I think you want me just for my fruitcake! ;)

Well the fruitcake is just the bonus part of the package :)

the boost thingy is a great thing to have handy for sure

Not so keen on the snow and ice but do love the sunset

Nice Christmas gift! It looks like you had a beautiful Sunday too my friend. :)

the snow makes me cold, I prefer a little heat

Nice post!! Note to self, get one of those compact jump starters!!!

Thanks much for the visit! They are handy!!! I expected it to be much heavier!

Always nice tagging along with you always entertaining!

I love the company!
