Well, I got the new sump pump with the emergancy battery back-up pump installed and working. I had to return the battery that I originally bought as it turned out to be a used one that someone had returned. They are shipped from the factory dry with acid to be added later. When I went to add the acid, low and behold, the battery was already full. And when I hooked that one up, it was deader than a doornail. The new one works great though. The backup pump came with a monitoring console that will let you know when the power is out, when the battery needs water or is dead, and when the backup is in use, when you only have 30 min left of battery power.
We had a pretty good 4th. I cooked ribs on the grill and the wife, i, and our neighbors set up lawn chairs on my driveway and shot and watched fireworks. Then on Sat, we went down to Clinton and seen their Glory Days parade with my Dad. It was a great parade and lasted about 1 1/2 hours. A local car dealer had an 09 SRT8 Challenger that was in the parade and at the car show afterword. List price $37,000.00 price as equiped $41,000.00 est. MPG 12 city, 18 hwy.
