Voting Early Should Help Lessen mailers, texts, and calls

Reminder,

Voting early helps lessen the amount of mail, texts, and calls you will get. At least in my experience. It isn't 100%. But you will likely see a noticeable decline. Maybe 30% less for me so far. And a pretty noticeable drop in texts.

Campaigns generally have access to who has already voted. (or at least returned a ballot) And will direct resources away from those that have already done so.

So another reason to vote early.

"In an interview with the Columbus Dispatch, Democratic consultant Dennis Willard said, “Every campaign watches every penny it spends … If they’re running their campaign properly, they’re not talking to voters after they vote.”

Bike sitting for Months, best way to charge?

2020 DS

Just got back from being deployed for 10months.

Bike has been stored indoors. Started around 65% and has only gone down to 54%. People have periodically checked on it for me and toggled the ignition.

What is the best way to charge it back up? 120v and let it sit for a while to balance? J1772?

any tips on other things to check that may not be obvious?

Thank you

Sticky for Skull Logos from Support units?

Related to the 9 Line post, can we get a sticky for unit patches that have skulls?

It always gets me when units have a bunch of death/skull imagery and they work in supply.

Example
"Death Killers" skull patch

Is there any product that can replace a typical pitcher hand pump with an electric pump?

We have a seasonal cabin. We don't want a submersible or jet pump. Just like to find a 120V or 12Vdc option to periodically fill buckets without having to crank the hand pump...like we have been doing for 30 years. Ha.

Something simple that could go on the pipe instead of the pitcher hand pump.

Thank you
