Car Trouble

"Marriage has no guarantees.  If that's  what you're looking for, go live with a car battery."  --Erma Bombeck

The van's battery died on Sunday.  Eric flagged down a guy in the parking lot and asked for a jump.  
When the guy popped his hood, there was a big ol' Ziploc of  weed on his battery.  "Oops," the guy said sheepishly, "you weren't supposed to see that."  

Since it was a new battery, we worried that the alternator was on the fritz.  We spent three hours at the Honda dealership yesterday.  Fortunately it was just a dead battery.  I mean, it's irritating that the battery was a dud, but at least it we didn't need a $1000 alternator replacement.

The boys and I spent the next three hours getting the van detailed.  Now we have the impossible task of keeping the vehicle spotless until we sell it. Ha!
