    Ed and Lynn, I have been telling you two how to say Norfolk for years! you can not be afraid to say it!
    back in the early 70's I went to watch a sports team play a game in Norfolk. The chear Leaders lead a chear that said " We don't Smoke We Don't Drink Nor folk Nor folk " Now you have to pounce Norfolk properly the way Nichole said! To understand the Chear! And she is correct That is how the natives say Norfolk with a silent L and a U instead of an O.
    I grew up in Chesapeake, Va and spent a lot time on the Ditch (Great Bridge Side) and around Water Side it was nice to see Water Side in the video!
    Oh I have been watching my mail Box no package so far, for guessing the control box on the windless was going out next!
    Another fine video keep up the great fun!

      We will do a video on it. Basically, the solar charger I was using to divert some of the alternator power to the lithiums was taking all the power, and draining the 32 volt bank as well. We now turn it on and off manually when we want to use it until I find a better solution.
