Decorate Your Bike...and Trailer!
I have a real problem of going over the top. I did my best to go way over
the top with December's bike decorations. I had three strands of these lights
at my house and so I started to think about what I needed to do to get them
running on my bike. I work for Tripp Lite,
a company that utilizes batteries in Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs)
for the computer industry. We also sell a really great unit called a PowerVerter
which plugs into your lighter or powerport and gives you AC power from a DC
source. I went to see my friends Manny, Moe and Jack to get a battery lead
so I could just but a batter in the trailer. That battery weighs 26.5 pounds
and kept 200 lights on for about two hours. I am especially proud that I made
the connection between the two light strands right where the BOB mounts to
the trailer. I am amused by the simplest things.
