As long as they don't run out of money each month and need help from you I would not be too bothered. Your wife and her brother will have much better luck explaining things to them that you ever will. The bigger problem I see is trying to get your MIL to stop driving herself when it's no...

A carbon pile load tester is the "gold standard" of battery testing. The Ancel is good. A carbon pile load tester is better. With a carbon pile load tester you can smell your battery being tested.

Short battery life in Texas would be reason to move!!

The stress in NY is from your taxes. Glad I moved a few states south to Delaware. In NY the batteries from Walmart should be East Penn at least. That's a plus when looking for a normal priced battery (not the $400 AGMs).

I have been using them for several years. Excellent product/service. They are Swiss based and follow Swiss privacy laws. They don't read your email like Google does and try to make money off it. I have a paid Proton account. They give me more GB of storage every year I continue as a customer.

Looking at a $300 11" with A16 chip. Is this a decent iPad? Or do I need to spend more $$ to get a decent iPad? Initially I will use it to remotely run a Yamaha TF1. But after that I am not sure what I will use it for.

I buy 1000' spools of CAT6 outdoor w/messenger from TruCable. Use to order it direct with free shipping. They upped the minimum order. But can still order TruCable products on Amazon with free shipping. I order some outdoor CAT6 from Unifi. Aren't most premade cables stranded? Or only patch...

Two to three times a year for vacation. Years ago I traveled a lot on business and earned a AA Gold for life status.

I may actually buy my first iPad. Considering a 11" with A16 chip. Around $300 on Amazon. Initial use is to learn how to remote manage a Yamaha TF1 with an iPad.

Gone are the video screens built into the seat backs. Now there is a little holder for your tablet or smart phone so you can provide your own entertainment. The meals on domestic flights disappeared years or decades ago What's next?

Amsoil ATF and gear oil is even more expensive. With the cost of a new car, lubricants are cheap. SuperTech or Amsoil.

Test them how?

Probably time. Probably time. But I would still fully charge with plug-in charger and then test it. You could have left a light on or have a parasitic current draw.
