[Rhodes22-list] Electrical KISS

[Rik Sandberg]

Brad,

Boy, bet if you want to run a coffee maker 2 or 3 times a day, you're going 
to looking at bringing along the Honda. That ain't all bad though. It sure 
lessens the "have to pay attention" factor. I've got one of those too. 
They're light and they don't take up much room. Hardly any more than that 
second battery. :-)

Far as the math for the coffee maker. That sounds like a job for Roger, our 
chief mathematician.
