And, this morning I went to my mechanic and tested my battery--it's fine!<br /><br />Now, as someone pointed out, we stored the new battery next to a box of explosive flares--no one ever said we were the brightest bunch. . .JohnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817579608559685596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25407346.post-34604117530711471962009-07-13T11:37:13.085-05:002009-07-13T11:37:13.085-05:00lucky for us that kayaks don`t have batterieslucky for us that kayaks don`t have batteriesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474276924946659339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25407346.post-13702239776714353062009-07-13T08:42:11.608-05:002009-07-13T08:42:11.608-05:00And, to bring an end to the story, I unloaded my c...And, to bring an end to the story, I unloaded my car--with lots of help from my loving wife (Oz), who saw aforementioned battery and remarked that it couldn't be a birthday present as it wasn't even wrapped (ok, I digressed). Having faith that the glass was indeed half full, after unloading I backed my car into the garage (yes it started once again!).<br /><br />Upon seeing that I backed in rather than my usual bow (engine compartment in this case) in, Oz asked me why I did that? Good question, deserves good answer . . . because I didn't feel like turning the car around, oh--and if it didn't start in the morning, the engine compartment would be accessible for a jump start!<br /><br />Well, the car started right up after a restful night!<br /><br />Alls well that ends well, and I will be seeing my mechanic to have once dead battery tested to make sure it doesn't happen again. Additionally, I'm going to buy a set of jumper cables at lunch today!!!<br /><br />Good symposium and some great whisky!!!<br /><br />jbJohnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817579608559685596noreply@blogger.com
