I check and rechecked all my grounds. I picked up a Regulator, keeping my fingers srossed that this afternoon's ride is uneventful

Since you mention you recently changed your battery, check both battery terminals. I know, you installed it right - but you might just be surprised. I changed an alternator on a Suburban once in the middle of nowhere Alaska only to find out when the job was done that by ground terminal wasn't as tight as it should be. It's easy to think everything's tightened down and for it to look right but slightly loose is a problem.
