That's seriously awesome news!
My surgery is Sat at 7:30 eastern. Doc said 4-5 hrs, so fun. If I recover well, I'll go home. Otherwise, they'll keep me for observation.
I PM'ed Leeann to ask, "What surgery?" I'll leave the details to Leeann ... but everyone might want to send her husband a few rolls of bubble wrap ...

Before diving into the Coach Electrical System, let's examine some basic electricity concepts as they apply to our discussion, starting with electrical circuits.
(Yes, we're going to shift temporarily to a bottom-up perspective to lay some groundwork before going back to our top-down examination.)
In its most basic form, an electrical circuit consists of a source, connections, and a load. The words circle and circuit are related, with both sharing common origins. So, one way of thinking about an electrical circuit is to consider the electricity following a (vaguely) circular path from the source, through the connections and the load, and back to the source.

All electrical circuits boil down to this basic diagram. That's it, nice and simple, just like sex.
Note: We're talking about electrical, not electronic circuits. Electrical circuits are relatively simple and straight forward, while electronic circuits can be incredibly complex, with lots of strange, counterintuitive rules and behavior. (That's why I quit studying electronics and focused on digital circuits.)
