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.
