Someone Is Laughing at Me
Monday, May 12, 2025
Each day 5 After 5 offers us a particular challenge - today's was to do something speedy, which I intended to ignore. I'm a turtle, not a cheetah!
Except - when I went out to my car to drive to school, it wouldn't start. And my jump starter didn't have enough charge.
So I hustled to school on foot, averaging just under 17 min miles (I usually walk at a 20+ min/mile pace) to get there as close to the start of my first class as I could. So much for not doing anything speedy.
After school I tested the battery in the car (the tester suggested the battery isn't good) and successfully used the charged jump starter to get it running. Bought a new battery and some hardware to secure it, and spent an hour after getting back installing the darn thing. Now I seem to have a consistently working car again, though the real test will be when it does or doesn't start tomorrow morning.
No bike ride tonight, bummer.
