Good Idea !

I have twisted them into the Florida ground for anchoring enclosed trailers/tool sheds with a 1/2" bar.

Lots of work running them 3 feet down, working up a sweat on a warm day.

Good for 120 mph winds. Nothing has let loose yet . . . . . I said yet . .

<~~~~~ must find those old electric asphalt tank heaters. San Diego would frown mightily on a wood fire that large. Enough garlic should cover the taste of the crude oil.
 
Got confirmation on my new company truck today. Out with the half ton, in with the one-ton.. Got a 10 speed Allison transmission.. Could be interesting..
 
So went and cranked in 10 anchors. 3/4 impact did most of them. The ratchet wasnt too bad though.

26R is group and size for that Batt. Yes, you might have a small draw on the battery when not in use. Could be in the alt. A bad diode. Use a test light to check for a draw. Take the clip, hook it to the positive battery cable, removed from the battery, and take the pointed probe to the positive post on batt. It should not light at all. If it does, there is a draw. The brighter the light the more drain.

It was in my head. I can not recall ever parking a car, locking the doors and leave it in neutral. I am not saying I have never done it, but I can not recall it. Then, like a month ago or so, the battery went flat, and that was for real. So, this time it had been sitting even longer without starting it, so I just thought to myself, oh, that's a pity, the battery is flat. Either the battery is old or bad for whatever reason, or I have a leak. Charged the battery, back to the car, turned the key, no reaction. Then I tried the blinkers, they worked, and so forth. Then I realized, oh, maybe it is the transmission. Well it was, and now everything is fine. I had to laugh at myself.
