Weekend Catch - Up:
My MINI Cooper was in the shop last week getting an oil change and engine service and also getting his front tires and brakes changed. I ended up walking to work all week and took lots of contemplative pictures of rain-soaked bare branches along the way:
All of this car repair hullaballoo was in preparation for a road trip from San Jose down to L.A. I picked my baby up at the service center on Friday afternoon, paid them a bajillion dollars and that night we were on our way. Everything looked and felt great. It did NOT seem like the car battery was gonna die halfway there. Yet that’s exactly what happened. Ugh.
So my Thing for bright and early Saturday morning was having my boyfriend and his dad (we went to stay with his parents) show me how to replace the battery. An unexpected but important lesson learned.
