Well two weeks after the weather was finally decent enough to replace the rear axles, because I have no garage (and one week after my return from Virginia Beach) the alternator quit. Now I DO happen to have a spare alternator I MIGHT be able to use, but it's in - LOL - Virginia Beach! My brother is there today so he promised to bring it with him when he gets back. But if I can't get the TD self-charging soon, I may just put a battery-charger on her long enough to at least make a couple trips to Lowes.

Happy Motoring, Mark
As long as you make sure the battery is charged before you leave for Lowes, you should be fine. These cars don't need electricity to keep themselves running. Just be sure you go when the sun is up so you don't need the headlights.
