The Mariner's alternator has been replaced, so there's one more thing taken care of. It's equipped with a V6, so that job required dropping the front axle. If the little SUV had a four-cylinder instead, Dad and I could have probably the job ourselves, since the alternator on those models is mounted on the back of the engine block instead of the bottom.
We had a decent handle on COVID-19 here in Kentucky, infection, hospitalization, and death rates way below the national level. People had to go and fuck that up, though, because tyranny and muh freedumz and all that, so Governor Beshear made mask-wearing mandatory for 30 days, and from the meltdowns that have happened already, you'd think that he'd ordered public bloodletting and maybe putting leeches into the drink dispensers at convenience stores. I am just done with these jerks who one the one hand proclaim their moral superiority because of their Christianity, yet refuse to even pretend to follow the example and make the least sacrifice to help others.
We saw a heck of a thunderstorm blow through last night. Came on really fast, high winds along the storm front, crazy stuff. LG&E reported about 12K customers losing power over the course of the thing. Taylorsville Road was closed for a while this morning to clear a couple of downed trees.
