Spring's here! (Actually, it seems like summer is here... very, very early.)

The Metro/Firefly's exhaust system self-destructed on the weekend, so I'm using this opportunity to press the U.F.O. back into servce so I can stick the Flea in the garage and repair it at my leisure.

I still haven't finished the grid trickle charger for the Insight's battery pack, and since the pack has not been used since the pack refurbishing process ended 6 weeks ago. I'm reluctant to put the pack into use with 6 weeks of self-discharge on it.

So, sadly, I'll be switching the IMA breaker "OFF" for the first trip of the year (Wed). That will surely motivate me to finish it up.
