[MRCA] Gilbert Batteries

[Mike Feher]

If I make it to Gilbert, I can bring along a couple of bags full of 9 volt
NOS batteries and a tester. I will easily have a couple of hundred. Right
now chances are about 25%. I just bought a 16 foot box truck to help me
dispose of items and it is now registered, inspected, and drives fine. Only
got it inspected today after having 6 new tires put on it. The tires were
for me, not for inspection. It also needed a new windshield. Since I bought
it off of eBay I had to go up to NY to get it and had no problem driving it
back. It is a 2005 with less than 39K miles. Anyway, the problem will be
with loading the truck, and soliciting the help of my younger son.
Additionally, I bought one of those backup cameras and monitor combinations
so I can see what is behind me. I need to install it. I was all set to go in
2001, had my previous truck loaded and ready, sadly, 9/11 happened. So far I
have never made it up there, but, maybe this year I will get to see a lot of
you fellows whom I have not seen in a long long time, and, a lot of others
on the various lists whom I have never met. It would be nice to see KW1I
whom I have not seen since he visited me when I lived in VA, and that was 20
years ago. Time for me to get out of hibernation, HI. 73 - Mike

I got two-packs of 9V batteries at my local dollar store, too.  They also
had packs of single 9V batteries at the same $1 price.  Go figure.
