Car Trouble

Well, K had to go to his Science exam early yesterday morning, except that my car wouldn't start. This was kind of stressful. Luckily, M was working at home that day and took K to school on time. M looked at us as if we had done something to the car, I guess he was stressed too. He thought the battery needed a boost, but we hooked the cables up to no avail. So we called CAA auto service to come and tow it to the car shop.

Meanwhile K called to say he had finished his exam half an hour early. He said it was easy. He is allowed extra time due to his learning disability. Maybe it wasn't such a bad day after all! He was well prepared to the point where we were watching old episodes of 'Entourage' the night before the exam.

The serviceman arrived in about an hour and a half. He used a portable kind of battery charger to boost the car. I didn't even know such things existed. So with these, you don't need to have another car around in order to boost your car battery. While the car was still running, I drove it to the car shop. We ended up having the battery replaced and fortunately it is still under warranty, so there was NO CHARGE.

I had a dental appointment in the afternoon, so I was glad to have the car fixed in a little over an hour while I waited.
