Well, fun with the lack of electricity. My battery has been on it's last legs, and I was meaning to get a new one this weekend, but the holiday, the wedding, and the storm distracted me. I decided that my big plan was to pick one up from the auto parts store next to my work between work and band tonight, and then replace it tomorrow. My battery had other plans.

At the end of the workday, my engine would chug a bit, but just wouldn't turn over for love or money. Not enough juice left in it. I walked over to the store, got my battery and then walked back with it. It was a distance of a bout two blocks and man, was that thing heavy.

I wasn't at all prepared to change out my battery in the parking lot at work, so I got a couple of the guys to help me push start the Jeep (god i love stick shift) and drove downtown. I knew I wouldn't have any help pushing it after band let out at 9, so I parked at the top of a hill, just east of the Capital. When it was time to go home, I rolled myself into a start, ala San Fransisco.

Tomorrow I'll bike to work, and then deal with the battery when I get home. Let's hope it doesn't rain, ok?
