Craptacular.
My car is completely dead. Won't even turn over...just clicks.
~sigh~
Celeste came and got the jedis for VBS, so that's a blessing to count. Guess I should call AAA and see if all I need is a jump?
Heh.... did you see anything that was left on?
It's so humid out there that no one has good hair today.
Not even bald guys. ;-)
Oh no!
Calling AAA will help figure out what happened at least.
Clicking sounds like battery
Not that I noticed...like a door or anything ajar...but Joshua was already in the car when I got out there so if he got in through a door that was already ajar, I don't know and I doubt he'd know the difference.
I've decided not to call AAA. Celeste is gonna bring the boys home, so I really don't have anywhere I need to go. Steve can try jumping the car when he gets home. If that doesn't work, I guess we'll push it into the garage and I'll just take the truck for VBS the rest of this week.
Guess I'll clean house and do laundry!
Yeah, but I reconsidered. We only get so many of these calls to AAA, so I'm gonna let Steve check it out, since it's not an emergency and the car is safely in my driveway.
I've complained about rain in the summer when we were getting it every day for 10 weeks. This is just weird that we're not getting at least the thunderstorms.
Yep...that's nice if that's all it is.
I keep thinking starter?
Alternator?
Steve's changed an alternator before...
Yeah, if you don't have to go out until Steve gets home, best not to use your AAA calls.
They don't like to come to your house anyway. They're mainly for roadside assistance.
(hmmmm...wonders where the heck his new cards are...)
Hope it's just something simple!
Ugh, there's something to be said for not working out first thing in the morning. I feel so slimy until I get my shower.
How old is the battery?
A starter doesn't do the clicking thing when it won't work....at least mine didn't. :)
You might want to have the alternator checked out just to make sure it's working.
I've had AAA for years and I think I've only used their services six or seven times.
But it's so nice to have!
I use their travel and hotel discounts anyway. *grin*
Yep! I think it musta happened the very first night...heh...
If I ever get married, I hope that's how things go for us, too!
The baby's due in January. I'd like to be there, but if I go at Christmas, I of course can't really up and leave again in three weeks. Maybe I can make it home around Easter, at least. We'll see. It'll depend on the vacation policy at work, and if I have money.
Good info!
The battery is pretty old! Gosh, I don't remember EVER changing it and we've had the care almost 10 years.
Oh that is so excellent! I love it!
It's not very ~sporting~ ;~D
Where are they living?
Wow, it's quiet here. I wonder if there's anyone else on this floor yet?
New Hampshire - an area I'm rather homesick for. We spent more off-time in NH than in Vermont, being right on the border and with NH having better shopping, hiking and entertainment.
*sniff*
I'm wondering how Anne's gonna deal with her first real winter, though. ;-)
