EVen Rangy-ier

As MR BEAN approaches his 100,000 mile jubilee, his battery at 96k is finally showing some age, with  sub-62 mile mornings beginning to show up EVen while the weather was still warm.  Having 100% of rated range remaining on a Nissan LEAF with over 90k miles on the clock is unheard of, but can totally be expected with the more robust battery design of an i-MiEV, howEVer, that's another story.

The stars aligned for a resumption of progress on the pusher trailer this fall, and my son helped to cut out the engine hatch in a tidy little trailer that we first took camping when he was a toddler!

The pusher is now running thanks to the students in Sumner High's Advanced Auto Shop, which is so advanced that many had never dealt with a mechanical distributor, ignition points, or a carburetor before!
