What did you do with your Grenadier today?

I found a new use for my battery monitor 😎

I installed on each of my two batteries a Bluetooth battery monitor, see my post here.

Yesterday I had to drive to the airport to do an interpreting job for the police, and today i thought: "when did I arrive, and when did I leave?", because usually they do give me a form for my payment, and here they will send it by e-mail. Well, my battery monitor did give me the answer:

As you can see, I arrived a little bit before 15h and left at 16h13!
You can also sometimes use it to check if your repair shop works or not on your car and how long. 😁
 
Did a lot of trip prep. Departing this am from Arizona and headed to Boise ID to meet up with my 2 friends in BMW GS bikes. We do this every year.

This year we will explore Eastern Idaho/West Montana and down to Yellowstone and swing it back to Hells Canyon OR. Then we split up as I head to La Pine / Crater Lake OR and drop one friend off and I head solo for Lost Coast (Usal Beach) CA and Big Sur and drive by Death Valley CA before getting home. Mostly pavement this time around. We did a lot on dirt last two years with my Gladiator.

List of things done :
Made a rear deck out of Unistrut and OSB
Attached tie off points
Made RTT mount also out of Unistrut
Added trash caddy
Made new RTT ladder hooks
Installed GMRS antenna
Change diff gear oil
Installed Bluetti Charger 1 DC to DC
Installed a Pelican rifle case on rack

I did a lot of stuff really.

Anyways, off to my trip

I've seen a few ways to maintain pressure on the engine stall button to over-ride that annoying feature. Some were CAD designed and CNC machined and anodized. While I once owned a CNC machining company, and still have a small shop in my garage, I fount this solution to be simpler and a heck of a lot faster and cheaper (under $5). Perhaps the tension will fatigue over time, and I'll just replace the 3/8" cable clamp.
