I see you had your battery charged, me too.

Hormel Genoa salami on seeded rye with Guldens spicy brown mustard and
iceberg lettuce.

I usually don't eat breakfast (I do brunch) but I got out of bed extra early
today because I have an appointent to get a new battery installed in my
car... a 60 month battery lasted me six years, not bad. My trusty Sears
battery charger saved the day again, paid for itself many times over. Had
the old battery on trickle charge for 36 hours, cranked this morning like
brand new but I know it won't hold. Everyone who drives needs to own a
battery charger... can't tell you how many times I pulled into my garage,
unloaded groceries and thought I shut the car door all the way but didn't...
few days later I'd go into the garage at night and notice the dome light was
barely glowing, starter would only click... set on quick start the charger
got me going in under five minutes but now the battery is too old to trust.

Scrambled eggs made with real butter AND sour cream AND salt, roasted
grape tomatoes and slightly underripe cantelope. Green tea. And a
small hand full of roasted pumpkin seeds eaten one at a time while I
read the paper, which is actually more of a pamphlet these days.
Evidently the Post-Dispatch is on a diet, too 'cause it's getting
awfully damned skinny.

We're not all that forgetful. I don't drive my mother's Buick nor do I
drive my car every single day. I keep her car on a charger so when I sell
it it will start. The battery is only 2 years old. After I sell it, it's
caveat emptor.

Do you need to make an appointment for a new battery? I don't think I
ever have but quite often, I do the replacement myself. Of course, as
most of us have learned, running a battery down by leaving lights on can
take months off its useful life. The current automatic off (and on)
switches are real savers.

Jean B,

Perhaps. I can always make more tomorrow!

I remember breakfast Irish coffees at work with green dyed frothed up cream
on top.

I don't remember much else but I remember that!

Yeppers. I have one and a 50' extension cord in the trunk. Saved me a handful
of times.

When the alternator gives out, there's no other hope.

Are you going to do that before or after you take your cats to their
bi-weekly psych appointments?

(talk about unnecessary appointments, sheesh. You buy a battery, you
replace it yourself - how hard is that?)

There's an appropriate joke in the far reaches of my mind dammit, but it
won't come out.

This came up instead... I once called Budweiser to do a short run of green
inked beer cans/labels for St. Patrick's Day. They actually told me to get
an agent for representation and get back to them!??? They could've hung up
on me and ran with it! The BUMS!!!

Nice breakfast, BTW!

You don't drive. Or more likely you live in a dump, where folks just toss
the old batteries out in the front yard with the empty beer cans.

About twelve ounces of blanched first-of-the-year local asparagus topped
with 2 eggs cooked sunny-side-up in olive oil (so that the liquid yolks
would form a sauce on the asparagus); toasted buttermilk bread on the side,
and orange juice. I was sorely tempted to make a second helping, but managed
to abstain.

Most original equipment batteries are are rated for only 24 months, some 36
months at best. Most won't buy more than a 36 month replacement, because
they don't expect to have the car longer or more likely today it's a lease.
Anyway leaving a battery charging all the time will shorten it's life.
You're much better off driving the car once a week, and so everything gets
lubed too, it's not good for the tires letting a car sit in one spot too
long either.

You don't live where the temperature dives to -20º... I got 6 years from a 5
year battery, I did great. This was an exceptionally cold winter, I knew
the battery was on the way out for months by how the starter was sounding
sluggish. The battery dying had nothing to do with being forgetful... a
newer battery becoming discharged because lights were left on could have
been charged to where it left off. I use many rechargeable batteries, most
folks do these days... they last longer when used until fully discharged
before recharging, it's the age of a battery that dictates it's demise, not
how much it's used, that's why car batteries are rated in months, not miles,
like tires.

> Do you need to make an appointment for a new battery?

Why would I want to drive 20 miles to Walmart, Sears (or some such large
auto service emporium) just to find out they don't have a 60 month battery
in stock to fit my Landcruiser... very few service centers stock any common
replacement parts for a Landcruiser, even tires need to be ordered. I know
if I phoned first I'd get some airhead who would automatically and very
confidantly say come in ("we have evreything"), but would never actualy
check. Even a Toyota dealership will be unlikely to have a battery in stock
for a Landcruiser, or many other parts. If I ordered it from the Toyota
dealer I'd pay double, they'd still have to order it so I'd still have to
make an appt, and wait there for hours.... dealerships are notoriously inept
at doing work in a timely fashion.... there's always a more important job
that takes presidence over swapping a battery, adn meanwhile I'd be left
waiting, even over their lunch hour... been there, done that... no more.

It's easier for me to go to the privately owned auto repair shop right in
town, only 7 miles round trip, his prices are the same for the battery as
Walmart, Sears, etc... he had to have the battery sent over with his next
order from NAPA. I have my car work done there because if ever I need an
emergency repair he's only a phone call and less than an hour's wait away,
in fact his head mechanic lives 1/4 mile away on the same road as me... I've
plowed the snow in his driveway when his plow broke down, he's replaced a
heater hose and a fan belt for me on a weekend. In rural areas people
still help each other. I phoned this morning and could have had the battery
late this afternoon but I opted for tomorrow at 1 PM because I have a doctor
appt in town at 11:45 PM, saves me a trip.

> I don't think I ever have but quite often I do the replacement myself.

Why would I want to take the risk driving a car with a weak battery twenty
miles from town over backwoods roads essentially desserted roads to buy a
battery and then hope the car restarts so I can risk driving all the way
back home, and just so I can play grease monkey with an acid filled greasy
battery, and then have to properly dispose of the old battery... not when I
can just drive 3+ miles into town, hand over my keys, have a cup of coffee,
and read a newspaper in a comfortable chair, with a tv too, until like 30
minutes passes and my car is all ready... and if during that 3+ mile drive
into town my weak battery stops my movement I would only have to wait a few
minutes for someone from the repair shop to come get me started or tow me
the short distance to their shop. More likely a half dozen people would be
by who'd recognze my car and stop to offer help, someone would head to the
repair shop to let them know where I was stuck.

It's been like 40 years since I replaced a battery myself. There is no
savings in buying a battery and doing your own labor, plus it's a very messy
job... and then you need to haul that messy old battery to a designated
recyling center, probably end up with acid burns in your clothes and car
upholstery, and pay like $5 for them to take it... you don't happen to live
in the same dumpy trialer park with the sqwartz, where rednecks just toss
trash into their front yard.. that old battery would help prop up the
sqwartz' one legged pink flamingo.

I've long passed that infantile stage where I crawl under cars in my spare
time... maybe for you it's still a "man" thang, for me at this point in my
life it's a *jackass* thang. I can't even change a tire on a Landcruiser
myself, I bet you can't either... it's a major job just to crank the spare
out from underneath, and filthy with years of road grime... and it takes two
strong guys to lift that monster onto the hub. And that's only if I happen
to have a half inch impact wrench so I can pop off those monster lug nuts
that have had nearly 20 years to become frozen in place... nope, out on the
road I call my AmEx road service. I got a flat on that car once, the first
year I owned it (1991), and I noticed the flat in my driveway, I was nearly
20 years younger and thought no biggie, I can do this, NOT! I could have
were I able to loosen those lug nuts, obviously jammed on forever with an
impact wrench. At that time I didn't have a road service policy, but I
phoned the Firestone place down the road where I usually went for routine
service, tune ups, lubes and such... since I was in their computer they sent
a guy must've been early twenties in their tow truck who had an impact
wrench and changed the tire. I still never bought an impact wrench. I
don't do teenage donkey work anymore... with age is supposed to come wisdom,
besides not being so inclined it's not wise to do those kinds of jobs
solo... with age is supposed come the knowledge that "Shit Happens" ain't
just empty woids on a bumper sticker.

I've only made a couple of changes.

The first and most major: sleep
I've made getting a bare minimum of 7 hours per night a priority.

And I eat most of my calories early in the day. As much as I want of
anything at all that I want for breakfast, a "sensible" lunch, a spartan
dinner and no snacks at all after that.

If I eat dinner too late nowadays, I don't sleep well at all.

I was thinking of shredding a bit of the corn beef I made last night
(slow cooker), add to skillet fried taters and onions, and possibly
adding some ancient green food dye used on some easter eggs a few years
back in the last couple of minutes while I steam a couple of sunny-side
eggs on top for contrast :-)

On a personal note, I bought a new mountain/comfort bike the other day,
and promptly took a spill on a large loose rock, and the bruise on my
hip has turned a lovely shade of green around the darker area. I haven't
told the wife as I'm a bit embarrassed.

My new battery cost me $143 total, labor and tax... this time a 72 month
battery, the type used for large diesel trucks. I pulled in at 12:30 and
was good to go 30 minutes later... took almost as long as for the computer
to figure and print my tab and for me to write the check. I was charged $22
labor, a major bargain for such a filthy job. The one thing I bet peeps
don't figger is that before removing the old battery a shadow battery needs
to be connected, otherwise a number of critical circuits in the auto will
lose their settings, like the clock (no biggie) but the anti theft for the
radio will necessitate a trip to the dealership to have the code punched in,
and various computer chips would need to be reconfigured too. I actually
learned a lot about modern car batterys during those few minutes, also that
it requires two people to do the job so the shadow battery connection
doesn't open, it's no longer your father's battery. It would be dumber than
a bag of rocks to change a battery oneself.

Look, you don't want to or can't change your battery, fine. But stop
pretending it's some sort of major operation, because it isn't.
