Well, my recollection was that the Group 34 AGM seemed to weigh about
50% more than the last "old style" Group 34 battery I replaced in an SUV.

Ahem. A "S" doesn't sound like a vowel.

:-)

Ahem. Always use 'an' for words which sound like they start with a
vowel, and always use 'a' for
words which sound like they start with a consonant.

I had to look it up. I always knew about an "a" before a consonant (did
that right!) and an "an" before before a vowel. (did that right too!)

But I never knew about the official rules about "sounding" like a vowel
or a consonant.

Musta skipped class that day.

So you could buy -a- SUV, eh? I bought
-an- SUV.

How does a "S" sound like a,e,i,o or u (and sometimes "y")?

Singularly it is spelled "Ess".

Where have you been? That was covered about 15 posts ago!

Working on my shooting gallery.

I was going to be doing that out at the river...but the weather has been
crappy. Got a load of used railroad ties delivered to the site to help
build a better backdrop and side drop, partner has a friend from whom he
can borrow a small dozer to remove some remaining tree stump, do a bit
of grading, et cetera. I cut a bunch of pressure treated lumber down to
match a plan I downloaded, but the finished product will be so heavy I
want to assemble it on site.
