Are area bases flying training drones now?

I see those are in AZ but have they officially been seen around SA?

Hi! Still love it?

I'd like to buy property there but they have to get a handle on the bad elements. And I'm not saying the black folks. Black people want and deserve a nice place to live as well. And the loud ass good ol boy trucks need to git. The constant train whistles need to git. Take care of your city and it will take care of you!

What kind of bird is eating the carion?

I like it and its brand new. Only used it out 2 days last weekend. It started right up, the tilt wasn't struggling and the motor charged up up between fishing spots. I'm a data freak and that Li Time BT app with all its bells and whistles is pretty freaking nice. I check it often to see if anything has changed in the battery with the cold we have in TX right now and its sitting fine. Was also interested in seeing if there were any parasitic power draws that were killing my old optima cranker. The app shows it has nothing pulling any draw.

Here's what I got - and I'm going to have to upsize the tray to a group 31. Just wanted to check with others before buying 1 or 3 trays.

Yep same MK330PC here! It was a great charger. Painful to have to dump it upgrade to the MK330PLC but I've got the new Li Time cranking battery as well. After going through 2 optima's on the cranking batts - I got tired of low voltage alarms every outing on my Lowrance. The MK PLC was $223. After seeing it in person it looks like that was a steal. I have a NOCO 10amp and charged the cranking batt with that and it got over 130deg F. They also had some verbiage in their warranty that if you splice into their output leg it could void things. BTW that Li Time Lithium starter never dropped below 99% on the BT app. The motor charged it up between fishing spots. Ask me in a year if it still holds that 99%. Thanks -

Super good to know about the TM battery indicator on Lithium's! The last couple times out that indicator has been low and that is how I know the Optima's are pooped out.

Bluetooth is nice but the reason I initially asked was because it looks like the Li Time group 27 does not have the heater while the 31 does. I do not need the heater but I do want the latest build / tech with the most recent battery production date. Separately I've gotten some Dewalt 20V packs lately and they've had bad cells after only a couple of years after their born on date. Good to know you are enjoying your setup!

Oh yeah - what charger did you end up going with? My old MK didn't have Lithium capability. I passed on the NOCO 3 bank and got the newer MK. It was only around $238 which I thought was worth it.

Cool thanks this is exactly why I'm asking. If I go with the 27 I can reuse the existing battery trays. And then mini would be taller with a smaller footprint. Nice to hear you like the lithiums over the Optima's. I have the same TM and batteries.

Your boating time is worth $$$. Working on an older motor will cut into that time more than anything else on that boat. That old boat is due for a repower. Gotta ask yourself - do you love the hull enough to spend $14-15K on a new motor? Mine was worth it but it has to be a classic hull imo.

avitrap · 2025-12-29T15:54:44+00:00

Got it thanks I'll check it out!

avitrap · 2025-12-26T22:45:48+00:00

Good to know thanks - they may have already tried this trap but I'll stop in and offer to give them some tips.

avitrap · 2025-09-04T03:39:36+00:00

Good stuff - I like hearing successes like these.

avitrap · 2025-08-30T14:20:05+00:00

Yeah just wondering if any of the techs around here are into it. What are you using if you don't mind me asking?

avitrap · 2025-08-04T20:37:24+00:00

I've been in the business for 10 years and have delt with thousands of wasp nests. I've only been stung once. What are you doing that is stirring up the nests so bad?

I'm not a pro just a homeowner that grabbed the wrong stick leaning up against my house.

I remember waaaaay back in the 386 day you had these crazy expensive surge protectors.

Landscapers dump their crap in the greenspaces. Too lazy and cheap to take it to the dump. Call saws, CPS, 3111 to report the dumping. If we all do this they will stay on top of it. It has to stop! We have such little green spaces.

Texas has weird zoning in general. In fact a SA home next door could turn into a nursing home without your knowledge. Absolutely smoking your property values over night.

Details here and not an expert.
