Packed up the Montgomery 17 for travel yesterday, all tidy and ship shape for the bumpy ride to the next lake

Still not sure if I'm strong enough to sail yet, so I may spend some time just tinkering, scrubbing, and generally playing house

I took down the old antenna coil, have a less awesome but fully functional antenna ready to install if (1) I can't find the replacement whip for the current one, and (2) I feel like soldering and crimping coax

When #LithiumIon #batteries fall below 75% capacity, they are considered unfit to #power #EVs but #research suggests that proper #reconditioning could #extend their life by years.
The research team will specifically be looking at #developing #automated ways to #disassemble batteries for more #efficient #recycling & #safety #protocols for recycling, #transporting & #storing them.
