Aw heck,

Don't sweat the retirement home. Your daughter knows you're too darned ornery for that! :>)

Yep, juice isn't my strong suit either, although I had to work on these darned alternators for many years.

Back in 1972, kind of by accident and in a rush, I hooked up that darned exciter circuit direct to the battery voltage to get an alternator to work. Heck, it seemed to work just fine with no ill effects, so I've wired a lot of the silly things this way.

I've never had one drain the battery, so if they are a bleedin', they aren’t bleeding very darned much! :>)
