Well, it took me several days, but the problem was/is the regulator.  Its
been OK until today when I could hear it cycling on and off and
loading/unloading the alternator.

I will get a new regulator ordered and installed shortly, hopefully it will
warm back up a bit down here.

Im having Minnesota flashbacks <grin>

Thanks to all who replied on and offline!
