HI JIM,
I AM ONE THAT ASKED ABOUT BATTERIES TO FIT INTO THE M38A1 PROPERLY.
MY JEEP IS 12 VOLT BUT I WANT TO PUT TWO BATTERIES FOR CRANKING POWER.
I WOULD LIKE TO PUT TWO CABLES FROM THE SOURCE TO THE BOTH BATTERIES.
HAVE YOU SEEN ANY LIKE THIS IN YOUR TRAVELS ???
I CANNOT SEE A PROBLEM. i HAVE IT THAT WAY ON MY TRAVEL TRAILER.
BUT, I THOUGHT I WOULD ASK THE LIST BRAINPOWER FIRST.
-------
OTHER QUESTION:
THIS IS OFF LIST:
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM TRYING TO RUN AS A DIRECTOR OF THE MVPA.
I READ SOME OF THE THREAD ON IT BUT NOT FROM THE BEGINNING.
I AM A FAIRLY NEW MEMBER AND WONDERED WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I REQUESTED A COPY OF THE BY-LAWS AND THE SECTION ON RUNNING IS QUITE
WEAK AT BEST.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT EACH CANDIDATE WOULD GET A WRITE UP AND THE
MEMBERS WOULD VOTE.
I MOST DEFINITELY AM NOT TRYING TO CONTINUE A SORE POINT, JUST FIND OUT
THE FACTS IF AVAILABLE. I DOUBT I WOULD BE OUT IN YOUR AREA TO TALK
PERSONALLY AND PRIVATELY.
TOM
