HI ALL!! new battery to start it up

    "    You make a grown man cry, spread out the oil the gasoline, I walk smooth ride in a mean mean machine, start it up, if you start it up, kick on the starter give it all you got, all you got, I can't compete with the riders in the other heats    "    Well what a challenging Monday I had. Left the condo early-ish to get some errands done. Well out to the truck and it's DEAD!! Won't even turn over. So I get mom out there and get the Rouge to jump start the Ranger. OK, got it running, throw the jumper cables in the back of the truck and head out to my errands. Left it running while I did the first several errands. Shut it off for the final errand. Came out of the store and it was dead again. So pupped out the jumper cables, and they were missing one of the end clamps!!(??) I JUST used them, could not find the clamp anywhere. Well finally got a jump from someone and went straight to the auto repair store and got a new battery. Of course that took MUCH longer than it should of. They were PACKED and backed up and short a tech. But got a new battery and had one of the trucks cables replaced and no charge for the cable or labor to put in the battery, because of the wait. Back home, had to pack up a large eBay item that I had sold. Then back out to the Post Office and the store. WOW!! A lot of running around and challenges, but errands DONE!! Also this week got the final touches done on the remodel!! Small hick-up on mom's toilet raiser, but got that problem solved as well. Up early three times this week, time for a chilling time and relax. Will have a couple of errands to run this weekend, but should spend some condo time as well.  CHOW MOI!!
