Doug,
Now that is a idea that is a keeper.  I had been thinking about a solar
panel but that seemed cumbersome at best.  But, using the daily power to
the pole to do the charging is a very good thought.

My immediate question is how much charging time is needed to keep the
battery fully charged daily.  It would seem I need to create a new
spread sheet.......................

Thanks for that!!
