What did you accomplish today?

2014 both of my knees and living bone were replaced with metal and plastic. The rehab was the most important thing to do and most painful. Life got better after recovery.

Scars are less noticeable, except for the bee who did a suicide sting right on the scar tissue yesterday as I was walking towards my backyard door, for no reason whatsoever, wtf!!

Those scars have targets on them, every mishap seems to land on the scars.IMG_20210811_090914632.jpg

gotta change the alternator in my truck, and going to put on a new serpentine belt, cause i know this one is over 5 years old, and i have to take it loose to get the alternator off. the truck died the other day (in a busy ass intersection...where else would it die....?) and right before it did, the gauge on the dash said it was charging at under 9 amps....that's not good. got it running long enough to check it with the meter when i got it home, said the same thing, so 129 bucks later (for a rebuilt alternator....mumble motherfucking profiteers mumble, ought to hang the fuckers for war criminals mumble....) i get to spend an hour doing something i profoundly do not like to do, but i'm a cheap ass fucker and don't want to pay a mechanic 200+ bucks to do something i can do in an hour or less.
i'll post pictures of my sure to be bloody and greasy hands and fingers when i get done :shock:

LOL Let's hope.

Right now my Honda battery is sitting at 12 and change which is about 65% discharged and I got it in February. My body control module (bcm) tested bad but then miraculously good and still the drain continues.
Have you tried pulling one fuse at a time while watching a meter on the battery circuit.
When you get the right one the meter should jump up.

I'm sure you knew this - but sometimes it's difficult to see the forest . . .

Oh yes, that was the parasitic drain test. Thank you, this is down to Honda's tech's diagnostic tools and abilities now. I'm pretty sure it's an intermittent issue between the battery and the BCM. This was brought in under warranty and we are determined they will fix it under warranty.

I figured you had already done the basic's, but thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it.
