A spare battery was $12-$13 so I just bought a 2nd drill

So for less than $40.00 which includes sales tax, got

two (2) complete systems.

Thanks to Puckdropper for suggesting a timer for the battery charger,
made another trip to HF where I found a suitable timer for $4.99.

Let's see now, two (2) cordless drills, a drill index box of drill

and a timer.

Not only is this becoming an investment of note, but also an
engineering project.

Oh well, keeps me out of bars at night and wild women on the
week ends.
