Minor Change in Voltage Gauge

Question for you electrical wizards out there... Prior to a couple of weeks
ago, my voltage gauge always read straight up at 14 volts. I stored my Kota
for about a week while on vaca. and when I returned the battery was weak (it
just barely turned over the engine) but the truck did fire right up. I've put
a lot of miles on it since --meaning I think the battery should be fully
charged up by now, but the voltage meter is still reading over 14 volts with no
additional loads (I.E. lights off, radio off, heater off, etc.).

So my stupid question of the month is, does this mean anything? Should I start
looking for a new battery? TIA!
Tom
