The problem with braid that is exposed to the elements is that it corrodes, and unless you inspect it frequently (at least once per year), you could end with no connection (or a very high resistance one).  If you do not have covered braid available, replace that run of braid with insulated stranded (the kind used for electrical work - not welding cable) copper wire.  No. 6 or No. 4 AWG will be fine.

Fair enough.  I'll add that to the to-do list ... because I haven't
messed with it since I put it in ~7 years ago.

Hey, so how would one measure whether or not a ground is good?  Is
that doable?  With a regular multimeter?
