Man, that's some BS right there. Coward won't even own up to it.

On our way to the new Raising Cane's in Janesville last night I stopped to fill up the van. After filling up, damn thing wouldn't start, so we had to call a friend to come to jump it. I nearly got frostbite trying to connect to the ground bolt, but we got it running and I was able to pop over to O'Reilly's and get a new battery, which I get to try to install today in the cold, albeit warmer weather.
Moral of the story: probably a good idea to have a battery tester handy to check it each winter.
I think places like Auto Zone can do a quick test for you in a pinch, and I think they'll even charge it for free. Great deal for someone like Runner daughter who doesn't have the wherewithal.
I'm sure O'Reilly's would do that as well, but it was 8:00 at night and I have the ability to swap them out, so just getting the battery and getting the van home was my goal. Of course, after I installed it today I realized it was the wrong battery, but was good enough to get me back to the store to swap it out for the correct one. We're all good now!
I wasn't suggesting for last night, just saying if wanting to check pre-winter. Those auto stores have lots of helpful tools for the asking -- they even can tell you which tire pressure sensors have failed, if for example your wife's car doesn't identify WHICH tire is low and might have, say, three bad tire pressure sensors.
Franz Ferdinand has a new album out called The Human Fear . I've given it a couple listens and its pretty good! The second half kind of loses pace but finishes strong. If you like Tonight: Franz Ferdinand or Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action you'll probably like this offering. The Doctor
