22:47 rue_shop2 I have the li-ion battery for the truck (test cell) on the capacity tester now, see how close to 5Ah it gets at its 20hr rate
22:47 Tom_itx rue_shop2, you should see this tree out front
22:48 Tom_itx lightening hit one of the trees in the yard
22:48 Tom_itx blew the bark off the side of it
22:48 Tom_itx and moved the ground around the base of the tree
22:48 Tom_itx like it was tilled up from underneath
22:49 rue_shop2 yike,
22:49 rue_shop2 and your computers still work
22:49 Tom_itx it knocked my interweb offline, i had to reset it all
22:49 Tom_itx it was rather loud

22:51 Tom_itx i might get a pic of it tomorrow but i dunno if it will show what it did
22:51 Tom_itx it didn't split the tree that i can tell, just went down the outside of it
22:52 rue_shop2 it was raining?
