? for the Electrical Engineers

[Kerry Pinkerton <pinkertonk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Great Chris, thanks

My son and I are going up the Spring Carlisle swap meet to take 8 of our 
"Imperial Wheeling Machines", hopefully to sell.  We're going to be 
camping because a lot of the components are pretty 'portable' if you 
know what I mean.  I have this thing I made to use in the house when we 
have power failures which is basically a wire with 2 brake lights hung 
on it and alligator clips on the other end.  I just bring in a battery 
and hook it up and at least we can see to eat and even read.

Now I will feel comfortable stringing it in the tent knowing it will 
last the whole week.

if anyone is going to Carlisle next week, look us up.  Don't know which 
space were going to be in (working with a friend) but we will be in the 
NorthEast field near Luddy Chevrolet.

Thanks again!
