<p>Yes, that matches my experience lately with Motorcraft as well.
The factory Motorcraft battery in my 2009 F150 got replaced in
2017 when it started to get weak. I still have the factory battery
in my 2014 Fusion with no sign of problems. I recently replaced
the battery in my Granddaughters car and also put a Motorcraft in
it.</p>

<p>Bo: Glad to hear you are OK. I had a 95 Suburban
that would have a dead battery every 2 years. It did
this on me 3 times before I got another brand. It had
a Wal Mart Neverstart battery in it when I bought it
and we were in a WM parking lot and it just died. I
went back in and got a battery and installed it. 2
years later at a restaurant at 10pm it would not start
and I had rolled the window down when we got in and it
did not have enough power to raise the window. I had
to walk a 1/2 mile through traffic at night to get a
battery. Then called a friend to help carry the
battery back to the parking lot and install. 2 years
later it failed at home and I replaced it with one
from a local battery company. I have used this
company since and their batteries work fine and last
about 6 years usually if I don't let them run down.
Stay safe. Good luck on getting back home. <br

<div>And the icing on the cake was . I got in my car
to go get something to eat and the battery was
deader than a doorknob . 230 miles away from home
and stuck with no tools or anything so I called the
local O Reilly's and the brought me a new battery
and put it in for NO extra charge . That's why I
use them as they are the same anywhere you go .</div>

To minimize the eye strain from your
monitor, try looking away every 15 - 20
minutes and stare at something 20 - 25
feet away, like something in the next
room, for about 5 minutes. Even watching
TV for a minute or two helps due to the
movement on the screen. I used to get up a
take a walk and BS with the other
engineers every now and then, also helped
with thinking about what I was working on.
Another thing to try is to sit farther
away from the monitor. You can also try
adjusting the brightness and contrast,
darker is supposed to be better.<br

<br clear="none">
Some of the disciplinary aides
(secretaries) I used to work with would
use a screen filter to cut down the glare
from the monitor. Some people say that
wearing a good pair of polarized lenses
helps.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The reason you don’t have as big an issue
with you phone is because of the screen
size and the lower amount of emitted
light.<br clear="none">

Hi gang.<br clear="none">

I hope everyone is well. I’m doing fine

drive and function ok. There are just
some things that bother<br clear="none">
me enough to discourage doing them.
E-mail is one of those.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I’m worried about Bo Hinch. Has anyone

he lives very near Lake Charles
(Sulphur), LA which, under some forecast

elevation of his whole town is about 16’

and it’s only a few miles inland from a
bay that empties into the gulf.<br

I haven’t been able to get up with him.
I hope he and anyone else in this family
