Yesterday started off with trying to jumpstart my Transit Connect van. Couldn't get it to jump so had to call a towing service. He arrived an hour later right on time from what the dispatcher said it would be. He got me going, he said these are notoriously difficult to jumpstart and not to feel bad. He said he had already had a bunch of jumpstarts that morning, more than usaul. Fortunately my insurance covers the roadside assistance.
Once it was running I drove down to the local shop and got a new battery installed. The bill was actually less than what I was quoted for the battery and install. If you have not seen one of these the battery is shoved way in the back of the engine compartment tucked behind and under the windshield and is a real bugger to get to.It was worth it to pay someone else to change it.
After that, we made a trip to the grocery store and that pretty much wiped out Saturday.
Today we drove down to the town my parents live in for a visit and to stop by the annual renaissance fair. It's been about five years since we've been to the renfaire. It has definitely been downsized since Covid and with the current economy sucking. It was good for us to get out of the house and still had a nice visit with the folks. Not a bad Sunday at all.
