That reminds me. I need to check the wipers on my truck and see if I need to replace them or if they're still good.

Might not be a bad idea to grab a spare set anyway.

Ordered a full set of wipers for the Jeep, and front wipers for my wife's Honda Pilot.

I've got two still in the package and four that are either out of date or getting close to it.

So I'm close to out of spares, but thanks to MajorHavoc, I'll be ordering some from Amazon soon.

I was going to order some from MidwayUSA, but their prices went way up in the last couple months on the SureFire brand I usually use.

You made me curious, so I checked to see how many I've got.  I only have one light that really calls for them, as most of what I have use li-ion rechargeables, but some of my lights come with CR123A batteries when new.  Turns out that I've got over a dozen of them sitting around, new in their wrappers - a mix of Streamlight, Olight, Tenergy, and Energizer.

Small world. 

We close the middle of July. If anyone wants to ride out here they are welcome to camp/ RV on site, plenty of room. Probably be late August before we get moved in and have the house warming.

Low as in I've got maybe two extra ones, but that's it. So it looks like a battery order is in my future.
EBL CR123A Battery 6 Pack $6.99

Neat. That's a hell of a lot cheaper than the pack of SureFire batteries I was looking at on MidwayUSA.

A 12 pack of those is 30 bucks. :eek1:

A massive drone attack in Moscow of more than 1000 explosive drones has led to a number of fires at oil refiners and the temporary closure of the Moscow Airport. 

Zelenisky released a press report stating that so long as the the Ukraine is under attack, Moscow will also burn.

For imagery of the massive top of the refinery tank flying through the air check out the link below:
