By the looks of the voltmeter it still is.
If it fell off in the minutes after the message then there is something.
If it’s holding at 14 it’s charging.

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Mine was showing good voltage to, but wasn't charging. Put a Napa reman in it, they figured it was the clutch, works fine now.

Yea AvE is very skilled. Some kind of mine engineer, have watched much of his stuff. His reviews really let you know if your going to buy a good tool or not!

This is the one I was talking about. AVE recommended this guy when he first built it. The first one ran backwards so he built a new one.

Not exciting but made some side cutters for the new 12" bucket. You would think it would be easy to buy them but very few companies sell them, including the place I bought the bucket from.

Took a stab at laying down some vinyl wrap...a whopping 1sq ft of it.
Needed new brake lights on the mini.

Ordered a new exhaust for my truck this week.   The state law is requiring me to add a cat onto the exhaust.  So starting with a fresh five inch I’ll add a v band clamp system on a new cat from amazon that I can install and remove. 
Ordered this from alligator performance

You have emissions testing up there Dave? Statewide or just the big city?

Helped my brother start on the master bathroom. It's the last project inside his house. Jacuzzi tub then a walk in split his/hers shower with a bench, wall nozzles, etc. Kind of fun... something different. I recommended felt or membrane behind the backer board but he wouldn't do it. I thought you were supposed to, but I'm not the boss.

Got a brush cutter for the mini excavator. Actually ordered Thursday pm and it showed up on a freight truck Monday morning...it was in North Carolina and I'm in AZ. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
The Idaho property is so thick you can't walk through it, so I think this will help, especially since it's not flat property.

Oops my bad Nate!

Don, I settled for a"cheap" grass cutter. The one I wanted was double the price but had mulching capabilities. It was 42" (the largest I can put on this mini), 3 blades instead of 2, and had carbide teeth on the bottom of the blades. Even one that small starts at 5 grand. One for yours would probably be triple.

Ya, mine are stupid expensive
My excavator is 195 HP I think, and unless I'm crazy I think the uber tree killin attachment I saw was around $30K new. Have to find one used and just rebuild it...after rebuilding the excavator, after painting it, after finishing the pond, after building a proper house down there, after finishing the cabin, after putting up the well house, after finishing the saw mill barn, aft....

Made a double round trip to Reno, bought a side by side. Uhaul said they had a 1 way trailer until I got there. Then their 5x8 trailer is just 4ft 5in wide???? They measure the wheels too,,,,,,,,,,,

Was going to get out to the land at night to check it out, never made it. Got an address coming, of course via mail? Fuel is $.60 cheaper up there, got 15.8mpg.

Kabota at the dealer, tell me it needs the leaking hub rebuilt, $1100? Want another $500 for changing the Hyd fluid and filter, no thanks I will do that.

Kub dealer in Reno says just the hub seals probably is bad, 2-3 hours.

Getting estimates for the well, 20-30K for just the hole.

Pretty clean little machine, stock. Probably just do a muffler, window and get it wrapped.
