   Good idea, those trickle chargers. I keep my Camaro on one year round   
   because I seldom drive it. I was going to take it out for it's New Years   
   Day cruise, but came down with a fever and pre-cold after working outside   
   all Saturday. Instead I rested on the couch and by Monday I was doing much   
   better.

   She needs some riding thermals...those will make her more comfortable in   
   the cold weather.
