Battery Discharging

Just read a post regarding slowly draining battery. I apparently have the same problem now.
I took a 6 week trip leaving a 92 turbo conv. sitting in the garage. Came back to a dead battery. Charged to start, drove a day, couple days later, dead again. Battery checked, supposedly good, charged again, drove 150 miles, couple days later, dead again.
I've just recharged the battery at 6A for two days. Before installing, I checked impedance at the battery cables. On a cheap multimeter, I'm in the 5 - 10 kohm range. (this must be way too low even on the meter I'm using). Pulled all fuses, and relays that I know of, pasenger and drivers side under hood, and under back seat with no change in resistance. Alternater's recently replaced. Trunk lights off, headlight switch is on off, interior lights are off, not a single problem before I parked it even though it didn't get driven regulary through the winter. Don't know if I've just been dealing with an insufficient charge, but I doubt it.
Any suggestions on how to further diagnose?
