It has been too long, after a much needed bath, the plate is on the move again....

1st Stop was an undisclosed location near Minneapolis, MN

the plate wanted to call home, but could not use it's cell phone in here....not that it would work underground

it felt good to be close to power again, those batteries are on 2 volts a piece....but there is a bunch of them...

Notice the size of the solid copper buss bars.....this is some serious current.....

Ahhh...this explains it....that is a 400 AMP charger, running at 200 AMPS out, there are 13 more of these. 14 X 200 = A LOT OF CURRENT, the plate was a little scared and really wanted to call home....

I think it was able to find a phone line here.
 
Today the plate went from Minneapolis to Fargo!

It took in the sights from high atop one of Fargos tallest buildings...

Then it was curious about how PCS antennas work.....

After a few moments the plate complained that it was feeling a little strange.....

"Hey Norm! I thought you were goin' ice fishin' up Mille Lacs?"

"Yah, after lunch."

"Norm brought me Arby's."

Due to a power outage....the plate decided to visit a old friend in St. Louis...

To be continued....

They need to trim some more on that thing. That's gotta rub!

:D
 
Well....the plate made a visit today to KAAL in Austin, MN.......they would not let him watch the news cast, so he had to sit in a adjacent room...

Bonus Question: Where is the plate going next?

Should be an EASY question.

Is SPAM really meat though?
 
Our 1st stop for some reason reminded the plate of its real owner...
