[Highway Star]

The rain? It is the time of year for it. Seems like every year around this time, I wind up irritated because the weather keeps me from cruising. There are cool gatherings and places to go, but I'm not big on driving my Chevelle in the rain. Wiper motor is weak, no heater to defrost windshield, etc. It is hot and humid 24/7. A few nights ago the thermometer on my patio read 88 degrees at 10pm in the dark. the humidity was 95%. At night. Rainy and sunny every day. If there is a breeze, it is a hot breeze, and the humidity doesn't quit. My grass needs to be cut every 5 days or it is a hayfield.




The dome light came on earlier when I went out to see it, but it wasn't done charging yet. That is a good sign. I was figuring that if that little trickle charger only puts out so much juice, if there was a short, it would just drain as the charger worked. Is that right?

The volt meter said 12.36 volts when I hooked it to the battery earlier today. My bud told me that is a good reading, but I need to find out what it reads when I crank it. Then, get a reading off the alternator once it is running. We'll see.
