When It Rains It Pours.......


If You Read The Blog Below This One Then You Know What I Have Been Going Through With The Battery For My Truck. I Wish That's All It Was.
This Morning I Was Taking My Son To Work When I Discovered The Battery In The Car Was Dead. Does It Ever End? I Have A Super Battery Charger That I Hooked Up To The Car. After I Got It Started I Took My Son To Work. I Waited Until The Auto Parts Store Opened Up So I Could Have The Battery Checked. After That Was Done I Bought A New Battery But No One To Install It. Install It You Ask? Yes You Read It Correctly!
My Battery Is Not Under The Hood Like All The Other Cars I Have Owned. I Took It To An Auto Repair Shop To See If They Would Install It For Me. Lucky For Me They Were Able To Do It Right Then. In Order To Get To My Battery You Must Take The Front Wheel Off. There Is A Panel That Must Be Removed That Has A Gazillion Bolts Holding It In Place. I Told The Mechanic I Wanted To Watch Him Do It. He Said Sure For An Additional $50.00. I'm Glad He Was Joking. Before He Put The Wheel Back On He Told Me I Had Better Get My Front Brakes Fixed. UGH!
Ok, On To My Next Project. I Took The Other Battery Off Charge For My Truck. I Put It Back Under The Hood And The Truck Started! Horay!!
Now I Was Off To A Mini Warehouse Storage To Take A Truckload Of Stuff To Georgetown. This Allowed My Battery To Get Fully Charged Up. I Then Got A Better Idea How Bad My Brakes Were On My Truck. I Have Already Made Arrangements With My Nephew To Fix Them Next Month When It Gets Warmer.
What Will It Be Next Time? I'm Sure It Will Be Something!
I'll Be Patiently Waiting For That Sunshine!
