Ooops! … Fixed

Our run of good weather ran out today. We woke up to rain … and it is still raining. No matter, we wanted a day or two of rest … and time for chores … laundry was foremost on my mind.

Plus, Mui had an important errand to attend to this morning.

When we got back from Seldovia yesterday, the CR-V was dead as a door nail. How could that be? The battery was brand new … replaced just before we left the house in May. We managed to get jump from a guy parked nearby and got back to the Cruiser OK. Turns out the battery was indeed OK. The problem was a broken battery terminal connector.

Mui left after breakfast, intending to pick up the necessary part in town and replace the broken connector himself. He ended up getting it fixed by a mechanic instead. The cost? $0 … zip … nada. The guy told Mui it would cost him more than the actual work was worth to write it all up. He would not take a tip, but a six-pack of beer as a thank you did not go amiss.Leia mais
