My wife and I have been looking at dogs at shelters for quite a while now and going back and forth as to what kind of dog to get.

 

She wanted a dog about the size of my foot, I wanted a dog that would look me in the eye. After discussing breeds, locations, and weights, we finally found a dog both of us love.

 

She just texted me this picture of him sitting next to her in the truck on their way back home. So far it's the only one I've got, but I'll post more after I get home and get to play with him tonight.

 

His name is Bond, he's a Shepherd mix, they think he's got some hound or lab in him. He's around a year or 2 old, and weighs about 45-50 lbs.

She said he's loving the truck ride and hasn't gotten too excited and distracted her. Which is a good thing because she doesn't drive the General very often.

Congrats, looks like a nice dog! We babysat my brothers lab for 3 weeks. Now we want a dog too. I just have to wait until the cat dies. The two did not get along...AT ALL!!!

Get the dog and let them fight it out. Problem solved.

Well he made it through the night with no problems! He was pretty worked up and confused most of the day, It's been a long time since he's had this kind of attention so he's trying to adjust and make sure we're not going to leave him. But we played in the back yard for about an hour, then took him for a lap around the block.

 

Here's a couple more pictures of him.

He found himself in the mirror and decide to challenge his reflection for dominance of the house.

Congrats!!! Dogs make the best kids. :lol:

 

Um, you may want to consider rephrasing that. :lol:

 

 

Um, you are reaching. :lol:

He'll stare at himself perfectly still for a few seconds, then jump back and stop again. Then I guess he's trying to be sneaky because he gets down and crawls to the edge of the mirror and looks behind it to see the dog. Then when it isn't there he jumps back in front of the mirror and stares again. Sometimes he paws at the base of the mirror like he's trying to let the reflection out.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
