All,
Big thanks to Joe, showed up with a battery charger at 11:45... saved the day.
And thanks to fellow motell guest that gave my a very beer soaked ride to Walmart... I didnt know til later that there were about 20 empty Natural Lites in his room when I gave him a new case! I thought it was a bit odd to be singing to Buffet with someone else in the car... ???
SO popped the new Wally battery in after charging all night and with my new bike dedicated Wally volt meter.... charging at 13.8....Whew!
Thanks to all who offered help...
Now as Joe says "Let's Ride" -they are meeting me here in a few min.
Brad
