    Default M715 playing tricks on me. It's cranky over Covid lockdowns

    My M715 needed driven, so I took it to Lowes to get 10 bags of sand.

    First off, while waiting at a red light, I tried to reach over, and roll down the passenger window.
    Couldn't reach the window crank, and ended up cracking my funny bone on the front right corner of the battery box just as the traffic light turned green.
    That made for some painful shifting of gears

    Then, after getting home and unloading the sand, I hosed the loose sand out of the bed.
    Well guess what? The top channel of the tailgate makes for an effective gutter holding a few gallons of water while hanging down.
    While putting the tailgate back up, I thoroughly soaked both pants legs.

    That's just your M715 marking its territory.

    I've learned to stand back when closing the tailgate at the car wash.

    Wasps like that area for home-building, too. Good fun.

    Been there and done that on both counts. I have a canvas pad with foam that put over the battery box to eliminate whacking my funny bone.

    Surprised you didn't leave the parking brake on and warm it up good. That's always good for a 'Doh!"
