Two batteries in four days

In a feat of timing the batteries on both vehicles died this week. Both original batteries, one from 2001, one from 2003.

That's one of those things that can be real annoying as it usually seems to happen when you're far from home. Both of mine were amazingly painless, though.


Alice's Honda battery was stone dead when I came out from church. A friend there got me jump-started and I took it straight to the NTB store near our house. Since they're open Sundays and weren't busy at all I had a new battery in less than an hour.


Today when I jumped in the pickup to go to work my battery was dead. I've got a battery charger and managed to get enough of a charge on it to get it running and went over to the same NTB store. Mid-day on a week day is another good, non-busy time so again I had a battery in less than an hour and got on about my day.
