Great news! Glad you are getting to have some fun.
Please don't forget about the batteries though. Make sure you have a system to keep them both charged at all times so you can continue to have fun without having battery problems.
Oh, and don't forget to check the water level in them at least every couple of months.

Thanks, another question as it shows how lazy I can be.

Can you charge the battery with the terminals on so I do not have to remove them?

Yes, of course. Consider that they are charged that way by the vehicle.
Be advised that you should wear safety glasses and rubber gloves. Attach the positive cable to the positive terminal first, then attach the neg cable to a ground away from the battery if you possibly can. This reduces the chance of a spark igniting any hydrogen gas that is emitted by the battery. In the engine compartment there are plenty of places to do this, in the house battery compartment this may not be possible.
Many of the newer chargers are designed to minimize sparking.

Neat, isn't it ... my Travco in a movie.
Too bad I threw out that burnt-orange crushed velvet captain's chair, that screamed "the Seventies."
Screamed "hideous and eww," too.
One day should fill up both her tanks and cover the winter-coolant thing.
Tomorrow and Tuesday, I am a "featured extra" in Abduction, the Taylor Lautner movie, filming in PGH. Whether a "featured" extra gets paid more is a good question and one I'm anxious to learn the answer to.
But hey, last Friday on Aduction paid my Travco insurance for the year and *if* this 'featured stuff' pays anything resembling good, it might pay the next 6 mos on my 'Splorer.
Oh, there were a couple of pretty cars on the set Friday. A '78 Corvette and a '73 Bonneville --so stock and unmolested it made me cry.
