Wednesday, Leroy tried to start “his”
car, however all he got was just a sputter or some noise that I cannot write
for you to get the full benefit. Luckily I was not going to work so he just
took my car. I had thought about shopping, but did not really need to go so it
was all good. Yesterday when needing a car again we just used mine.
Last night Leroy visited with some
guys about what might be wrong. It did not seem to Leroy that it was the
battery, but when one of them learned the battery was six years old, the consensus
was that it is quite old.
Leroy tried to call a place that is
close to us, but there was no answer. He just walked over to come back and
report, “No one is there.”
After a bit he went out and tried to
start the car with good results. He drove it to an auto parts store where they
checked the battery. It was fine, but not good in the cold. Leroy got the new
battery and they installed it. We felt quite lucky as it started again so he
could take it someplace rather than have it towed. It is also nice they could
change the battery there. Apparently on the newer cars they are not allowed or able
to do that as it requires a professional. Sometimes it is nice to have an older
car.
Leroy drove the car to work the
afternoon. He will have one hospital call and then go on to the museum. Rain is
predicted for this afternoon so he did not take the bike.
We are blessed indeed with many transportation
options in our life.
