Hi Folks,

OK - put me down for a definate maybe... I've got a battery/starter issue I need to get resolved - if I can get it fixed by then and the weather is good - I'll give it a shot... I've got like no time lately and need a good run...

Regards,
Scott

Im going to try and make this one as well weather permitting.

 

[drwhite]

What time?

 

[JOHNNYXRAY]

How about 1130 lunch with early birds hitting the slopes. Alan thanks for the newsletter work (I just figured out how to send it thanks to Mark's directions) . We can get better weather info on Friday along with a tentative head count.

 

[drwhite]

I will be there early (~8:30) with my two boys and we'll be skiing. We'll join you in the lodge when ya'll get there. Give me a call on my cell.

 

[GMascelli]

We are a tentative go. Wx will be the deal breaker but we are hoping for sun and clear!

Scott, our year old gill sealed batteries went dead on our sundowner. I'm looking to purchase a solar tender for the 24v system. My clock runs all the time, I need to get this on the master.

 

[mvanover]

Gary,

A 35 Amp battery should run a clock for a couple generations. Of course, the Gills are a crap shoot. A solar charger would be a great addition. We keep them in the shade out here, easier on the batteries that way. Still, I'd have some one check out your electrical system to see if there is something dragging down your charge (other than the clock) before I'd put more money in the fire.

Assuming we are eating at the wisp lodge how does one get to / fro such lodge from the airport? And 11:30 at the ramp, or 11:30 at the lodge?

Hi Gary,

Yeah - mine - Gill - have been on the Batttery Minder since purchase - less than a year I believe - I've got to check... I'm convinced it's the Battery - now I need two more ? Arrgh... Anyway - I don't have time to get to my mechanic this week - so I'm probably out for this trip...

Regards,
Scott
