Thank you VERY much! We are very lucky to have indoor storage that keeps it out of the elements. Moisture is not an issue in the building. The batteries were at the end of their lives and no longer holding a charge by the the time we put it away last summer, so I took them out for replacement this spring, when the virus struck. I'll buy new ones next spring when HOPEFULLY the border is re-opened and we can head south to spend time with our American friends. BTW - we are always on the lookout for mice when we visit the fiver as we do visit it regularly to make sure all is well....and to make sure it's not too lonely!
Many thanks again - it really is appreciated!
Your welcome!
As a side note, in Western PA, because of considerable limestone deposits over the yrs as the deposits run out or get to difficult/costly to reach quite a few of those old mines have been converted to underground storage units.. Big thing for boat/RV and even classic car owners is to put those items to bed for the winter in the underground mines.. Once items are in, the owners do not have access until spring.
Heck one of the largest limestone mines near me houses a lot of Hollywood master films, government and business documents/computer backups and so on.. Have a friend that works as an armed guard at that site.
