Power without power.



Every time we have been to Walmart, Chuck has looked at this HUGE battery that was on clearance but thought $60 was still too much for it. The last time we were there, he looked at it again and said if it came down another $10 he would buy it. We went on over to the grocery area to shop and they came over the loud speaker, saying that everything in the Clearance area was going to 1/2 price for the next hour. Chuck laughed and headed to buy the HUGE battery. You can plug in a normal lamp or anything else electric and it's suppose to be good for around 60 hours. Depends on how much the item pulls. We used it for the first time night before last and it was soooooo funny having a "real lamp" on in the TT. It made us both laugh and laugh. Chuck says it was worth the $30 just to see me sitting there knitting under a real light and we still have no power. We also bought an antenna for our battery TV. Inside the TT we can only get one channel but outside on the " freezing porch" we get 7 channels. Chuck is going to rig up a way to put the antenna outside and the TV inside. I bet he can do it....he can do anything. As of right now, we don't know what is going on with the outside world since we haven't seen TV or read a newspaper since we left. We are in our own little world of the TT in the woods. It's really not so bad.
