The Club Megaphone is kept in the office. Charger for the batteries is also in the office on the top shelf along with all the other device chargers. To turn on: Hold the trigger while turning the volume wheel on. To use: Just set the volume and pull the trigger to speak. To turn off: Turn the volume knob to the power symbol (off). Note that once you turn it on, you don't have to pull trigger and turn knob unless you've turned it off. The Club Megaphone was donated by the 505 Fleet

All, the new electric trimmer is now stored in the machinery room (room where the Ollie sleeps, across from the Men’s Room). I placed one battery on the charger, which sits on top of the key box above the Ollie and the trimmer is just beyond the key box. There is an extra battery, manual and extra spools of trimming line in the box next to the charger. I was able to trim around each cat on the south side of the inside lot yesterday - save for a few areas where there has simply been no care for months and the plants were too big for the trimmer. The entire area used one battery (about 7 cats worth). If you use the trimmer, take the battery off the charger and use it; place the spare from the box on the charger for a trickle charge at the same time - manual says its fine to leave one on there at all times. If going around the cats, go well outside your rudders or anything else protruding so the regular mowers don’t have to get real close to your boats. Take a glance at the manual to determine how to do line extension manually - that said, it automatically feeds 1/4” on each start up, so you shouldn’t ever have to do it manually. Easy to use and powerful (except for the small trees :)) Pat Start (who kindly donated the weed whacker)
