    Whew!! got it back for now. It started right up and the terminals
    where shiny as new, ground as well. Voltage across the terminals was
    13.3 and climbing. I have the trickle charger on it overnight, and
    will give it a good workout tomorrow. Thanks for all the help!<br>

      When I checked the voltage between the posts with a digital volt
      meter, I only got 11.5 volts, I left the charger on overnight, and
      it's now up to 13 volts, so I switched to a maintainer.  It's
      raining here today so I'm leaving it on the charger, and yes I
      will check the grounds for sure! Thanks for the advice to all.
