[AT] Polar Ice Caps

[Bob McNitt]

Thanks, Charlie. I may just do that tomorrow night. Battery in my Baja still 
seems to have plenty of cranking power, but it's now approaching five years 
old. And when they do go, it's usually some morning when it's -20 or colder.

I used to put one under the hood of my '47 Ford on really cold nights, Bob. 
I would place it near the radiator with the beam on the firewall, near the 
battery.  By morning, the snow would be gone from the ground under the motor 
and the old 6 volt would crank the flat head V-8 like a summer day.  My 
theory was that the lamp would run for less than 25 cents a night.  Missing 
a couple of hours of work because the car did not start would cost quite a 
bit more, not to mention the embarrassment of being late..
