We have some left in shady areas, but the ice is still on the lake (may finally go tomorrow or Sunday), a testament to how cold it was and how thick the ice was this winter.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-26133086981476692202015-04-17T20:30:57.528-04:002015-04-17T20:30:57.528-04:00Gary - Keeping them on tenders year round seems to...Gary - Keeping them on tenders year round seems to add a few years.

I've still been buying cheap wet cell batteries and with my sort-of record keeping system think I'm doing OK. So frustrating to be that close to heading out the driveway......<br /><br />Good luck with that new one and your next 8 years.Coop a.k.a.
