Almost made it
Stuck for the first time, EVAR, in my driving history. View from my driveway.

Milwaukee 18V Battery Rebuild
For reasons inexplicable (the battery pack was sitting directly above where I was welding, it may have cooked and melted), one of my Milwaukee 18V batteries went to the great charger in the sky.
