Batteries

Today I humped Alana's 5 batteries up a ladder and into the boat. This was probably the closest I have come to killing myself in a while. It didn't help that my ladder was apparently damaged by a forklift at some point and threatend to buckle under the combined load the batteries and myself, but in the end there were no injuries. The Lifeline AGM batteries seem to have done very well over the winter, having lost virtually none of their charge since they were removed from the boat back in October. I beefed up the manner in which they were secured. I probably overdid it, but that's how Alana likes it. At least now I know Alana can roll 360 degrees without her batteries coming loose. It would be a shame to lose one's Dread Zeppelin just because of a roll-over. I also hooked up the new carbon monoxide detector Jessica gave me for my recent birthday, reducing the chances of dying in my sleep
