Fox hunting in Massachusetts.

Today was the first fox hunt of the year. As usual, a small group of determined souls tramped through the underbrush spreading anise for the hounds to follow later in the morning. The temperature was cool but the sky bright blue and the ground rather dry making the hike through the woods easier than usual. Later in the year, the underbrush will have expanded making the trek more of a challenge. A usual there was a great party or “tea” after the hounds and hunters had returned. Back home I repaired the terminals on my wife’s corvette. They had corroded limiting the amperage available from the battery resulting in a slow crank rate. Good contact is critical for low voltage systems such as the 12 volts seen in cars. It may be that the auto industry will go to 24 volts in the near future as is currently used in airplanes. This would expand the number and types of accessories that can be supported.
