Is that why the snow had a little kick to it?? I thought I tasted something a little volty.....Well, I guess I should take care of that, but I'm barefoot; it might be cold- oh, it'll just take a minute I'll go take care of it now. BRB....



Seriously though, that battery was at 0.00v after 3 days of charging a while back; I AM concerned about the float charger connected to it though!! I disconnected it (it wasn't plugged in, but still) and put it away to dry. Luckily, it's a pretty tightly closed up package, but I'm still worried.....Oh, and I DID clean the snow off of it as soon as I discovered it Who would have thought that snow would get inside a carport like that??Us California raised folks don't know nuffin' about the mysterious white powder from the Gods. Oh, and I got stuck in the street trying to get in my driveway just now Good thing there's so much ice and a Geo is so light- I just threw it around until it got up the driveway!!
