Late news

Jerry M called this am from FL and his boat.  He said his battery system has powered the boat overnight with no problem – this includes comfort heating on a 40  degree night and the hotwater system for the shower.  That takes a lot of power.

Later we went to the grocery store and had a lazy afternoon.  I scrapped some ice off the driveway for and hour so but it appears for naught since an ice storm will coat it again tonight.  If the forcast is right then tomorrow it will melt off with temps of 43 degrees.  All next week is cold with ice and snow.  Come on spring.
