This forecast makes me glad that I am visiting Mexico, and not home for this weather.

Twenty four hours of rainy weather yesterday with a cold front coming in behind it, it’ll be 33 degrees tonight.
Ooooh the humanity.......
Yikes. Kinda fun looking back on it after it's over though. I suspect it's not the battery or the charging system, but the wiring. That's the best explanation for working but mediocre charging that used to be fine. I've had a crimp go bad at the connector to the reg/rec that kept the voltage low. Enough tarnish at a connection in a low current circuit and everything gets thrown off and it won't work..Monday was 60+F but,scattered threatening clouds of rain but went for a ride anyway. 1:30, stopped for lunch. Got back on to ride home and noticed the voltage was dropping. Got stranded. Got a ride home after phoning a friend. After dinner I bought an AGM battery at Batteries + with a 2 yr warranty and installed it. It was dark and had to run headlight but, as long as the RPMs kept up the voltage never went under 11 volts. Made it home OK. I'm never going to buy a motorcycle battery from Autozone again. Stopped raining this morning and I might go for another ride again. It's sunny and in the upper 40's or lower 50's now. Besides, I gotta do some testing to see if it's the charging system or if was the battery crapped out.
Since yesterday we have been in tweener weather. We have had rain, sleet, snow, hail and even 2Ms graupel plus high winds. Power has gone out 8 times today for a few seconds at a time. Must be icy lines getting together. At least the power comes right back on. Could be worse.
You guys have had the snow and we have had the rain........ A before and now

After years of drought the farmers were happy to have rain, when a years worth of rain fell in a week and maybe up 500,000 cattle are dead and that river system has overflowed in to 2 others and its about 300 klm long and up to 60 klm's wide
