:What have you been charging the batteries with? Running the tow vehicle?
:Solar?

Nope, no solar yet...I have been running on the charge the batteries got
when I towed it out on Wednesday...that's going on five days! All I have
been running is lights (20 watt halogen), a couple of hours of TV, and the
fantastic fan when it is hot in the afternoon ... I have two 12 volt deep
cycle marine batteries, and they are at 11.87 volts as of Tuesday morning.
This is good, I think...I have had it recommended to run the bats down to
10.8 volts on their first cycle. Does anyone know about this "breaking in"
of a battery?

:If I were you I would probably get a solar panel(if you don;t have one)...
:Sherry in Arizona has one that she really likes.

It's on the list....

:I'm worried about your kitty........ he's going to get in a fight and end
up
:with an abcess or worse. )c:

Well, I awoke to a strange meow this morning...the neighbour cat was
standing outside, apparently wanting Sirrah to come out. (he did so, and I
last saw them disappearing through a hole in the fence.) Goh is less
adventurous, and is still mostly hanging out in the trailer.

Both my cats have always had unlimited access to the outdoors (cat doors)
... I have never tried to control their comings and goings. I just hope they
continue to use their good sense(s).

I'm gonna take both to the vet in a couple of days and get them new
shots...the fighting part is up to them ( I have raised them to be
diplomatic, but one can only do so much...)

:I've never seen a Road Runner....... "Beep Beep" Has kitty ordered
anything
:recently from the Acme company?

They are awfully cool...and pretty aggressive, from what I hear from the
locals. Mebbe a pair of Acme Noggin Guard feline helmets...
