It Comes In Threes

If it's true that Death comes in threes, then perhaps the same applies to the death of car batteries. If you recall my post yesterday, my car battery was dead, from lack of starting in the cold snowy Ontario winter.

So last night when Shell got home from work, she pulled up the van tight to the car so that we could give the car a jump this morning.

She got up this morning and about 20 minutes later she's crawling back into bed and she's pissed.

"What's wrong?"
"Don't worry about...go back to sleep and I'll explain in a bit."

I don't have to be told twice to go back to sleep! So 'zzzzzzzzzzzz'

She awakens me a bit later and tells me to get dressed because CAA is on the way to give the van a jump...she meant the car right? I at this point wasn't clear-eyed enough to realize it was long since passed the time she was supposed to catch the train. Apparently she had left the interior light on in the van by accident last night and so awakened this morning to not one but TWO! dead car batteries.

Classic!!!!!!!

A few minutes later the CAA man drove up, plugged a little hand held charger to the vehicles and they were both vrooming in seconds. She drove off, and I let my car idle for a bit in the driveway so it would recharge itself.

Hopefully it holds that charge. If it does, then I'd be checking my own car batteries if I were you...these things come in threes, remember!
