Batterey Charger

All summer long Grandpa has been fussing and fuming over his missing battery charger at the beach (one of his grand kids borrowed it) because he wants to charge the batteries for the electric motor and he wants someone to use the motor to go fishing.

He's done a lot of talking about what a great sport fishing is and he laments mightily than none of his grandchildren appear to agree with him! After regaling us with some of his best fishing stories he decided he will take out the metal rowboat with the electric motor and fish one more time just for fun.

Last weekend he was done waiting for the battery charger to be returned; so a new one was purchased! You know what was the best part of his new toy? It took him a full day of reading the directions just to figure out the new-fangled fancy thing and then the better part of the next day to make sure he figured it out right.

It has been the best "project" he's worked on all summer - it took lots of time, he could do most of it sitting down and it brought complete satisfaction when the batteries charged! Of course the test will be if they are still charged when we get back out there this weekend :)

More tales on this saga next week...and hopefully no pictures of Grandpa swimming in the sound as his boat motors away. Yikes!
