I won't lose any more sleep over this. Thanks!

forgot to plug in the cart and found myself almost 5 miles from home without adequate power to get home. saw someone with an identical cart and they offered to let me follow them to their home and plug in. after about 1/2 hour i had enought power to get me home (barely). my new golf cart (on order) will have an on-board charger!

I'm glad to know there are places to get a "boost". I have an electric cart, and I can't get all over TV. I always carry an extension cord with me. I sure wish I knew all the secret places to get a little boost, especially when I want to go Savannah or to Spanish Springs.:gc:

1] Monitor Pool Seat-Savers
2] Monitor Pool Shower Usage
3] Monitor Dogs and Owners in Pool / Postal Areas
4] Monitor Pool Users [ check all IDs ]
5] Monitor Pool Music [ type and volume ]
6] Keep an eye out for those who place stickers on their mail-boxes --- tell them to cease and remove said stickers .
7] Keep an eye on who is using Pool Rest-rooms .
8] Monitor Parking at the Squares in the late afternoon .
9] Monitor Chair Saving at the Squares
10 ] Monitor and admonish dogs and owners who frequent the Squares
11] Monitor and Report [ complain ] about the " Tone " and content of the daily newspaper which costs all of $1 per week .
12] Monitor the visitors at the squares who come to enjoy the night`s entertainment
13] Attempt to Monitor the Activities of the Developer to make certain that he / they do not earn a reasonable profit .
14] Report widely and in vivid detail each and every felt transgression or inconvenience experienced at any dining establishment .
15] Closely monitor the sales tax calculation for each and every purchase of any amount .
WOW ! And this is just a partial list . No wonder these self-appointed behavior sentinels are so tired by the end of the day !!

There are electrical outlets at many postal stations you can use.

Nothing wrong with using the outlets. If he was siphoning gas it would be different.

I just LOVE this place and it's people. It is so much better to laugh than to cry.

My Kinda Guy! Seems like everyone's so concerned about everyone ELSE'S business that they can't help but want to "Call The Law"...... Had the same experience with a lady who told me that she was going to call Community Watch if I didn't adjust my sprinkler from watering driveway... I guess the older you get the more you gotta B... about something that is NO concern of yours!! :cus:


**************************************************

I couldn't agree with you more as to there's more "busy bodies" that WORRY about what others do than worry about themselves. My wife came home the other day and told me how some "young lady" had reemed a guy out about parking to close to "the line" in a car space with his gold cart and then another telling me about what a bad person I was for having a NRA sticker on my cart. I wish these people would get a life....of their own!! :pray:
