Ok, I am beginning to wonder if between when I had the battery go dead and now...if something got 'fixed'. I did not measure the mA in the method you sent me; so I don't have a good record of what was happening.

Over Christmas, sitting a couple weeks it went REALLY dead. I forgot to disconnect the battery. And it dropped down to 7 volts give/take. Something seriously drained it.
When I measured the volts daily (before Christmas) it would drop a little each day. So I will continue to monitor it now.
And at this point, with all the frustrations... if the battery keeps dropping like it did last fall when I noticed the problem - I am going to throw up my hands in defeat and take it to a shop.
