I’ll stick with Brandy and the flavored whiskey. I’m familiar with the effects and there’s no surprises.

My wife was almost normal by the time we got home at 1:30. As we’re finding out she seems to be quite sensitive to normal pain of getting older. We do use hemp rubs for muscle and joint pain along with other pain relief rubs. As far as the delta 9 infused wine. It was a new experience for all who tried it at the family New Years event. My wife and daughter in law were the only ones who drank it. I looked it up while at the hospital. And txab supplied the same information I found. I’m not against the product use, didn’t have a clue what it was or effects. My wife was aware of something hemp related was in the wine. Probably should have been more cautious about trying something new without at least looking it up. Especially being on medication. It didn’t affect my daughter in law at all. I hope she learned that hosting an event to be aware of what she serves. Especially to older attendees not knowing what medications they’re taking. My daughter was with me at the hospital and got really angry at the daughter in law. I had to pull her back and ask her not to express that towards her sister in law. Don’t want a family feud. I think my wife is claiming more responsibility to eliminate any hard feelings. This stuff is legal and available at any liquor store around here. 

Then it doesn’t contain cannabanoid. You are probably spot on. It’s reacting with some of her meds.

From what I’ve read it acts like weed. And will show up on a drug test. It’s an alternative to alcohol in wine and affects people differently. It’s been described as having an effect like weed from the 70s. We’ve never tried the stuff. At least on purpose.

Never heard of this stuff. I’d be like your wife on it probably except I woulda thought you were all Iranian gunboat sailors and try to eliminate THE PERCEIVED THREAT. Why I isolate mostly.

At the worst. The effects on her she was almost non responsive. Not very verbal. For a few minutes a hard time breathing. On the way to the hospital she mentioned she felt buzzed. Her vitals were always fine. Some people probably would call that high. She didn’t like it. She spent all day yesterday just chilling, opposite of her normal self. She actually sat through two movies. Definitely not normal. I thought about giving it a shot. But I don’t drink that often so that’s enough.  Three shots of whiskey every now and then is enough. I know what to expect. If I had to drive in an emergency I could do it. So usually it’s one or maybe two about once a month. That’s fine.

When she drinks wine she has a glass that’s the size of a shot glass. That’s about what she had.

Happy Belated New Years.  

 

No real resolutions here.  Will see what 2025 brings, hopefully a ZL1/1LE 😆 and more car events

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
