Leave a comment

ā­ 2/5 Stars ā€“ Too Weak for the CRF300L ā­ Pricing info here. Performance & Reliability šŸš²šŸ”‹ This lithium-iron battery had promise, but it just didnā€™t deliver for my Honda CRF300L. After sitting for only a brief period, it lacked the power to start the bike reliably. Even while riding, the batteryā€™s voltage was low at idle, which is not a confidence-inspiring trait when you’re out on the trails.

Lenovo M14 and Dell laptop

Leave a comment

Q. I have a charge on my credit card statement for “Cfx Ves Website”, I do not recognize this, what is it?! Is this legit? A. This most likely is a legitimate charge.

The Grand Imperial has traditionallyĀ beenĀ a lovely hotel in Silverton CO. The hotel’s antique charm and vintage roomsĀ were the main draws: Now, however, their wifi speedsĀ are also quite attractive: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5433605188 The connection has also been rock solid over the course of a two day stay. No disconnects and consistent speeds of 5Mb/s-6Mb/Ā This compares very favorably to a few years ago when most WiFi in Silverton was quite slow and spotty! It also beats AT&T 4G service in Silverton which currently maxes
