2004, Day

Broke Down, Busted, Disgusted
- Start: Summerlin (our house) 4:22AM

Ending temperature: 64.8, Sky: Clear. Winds: NNE 7-12 mph
What
can I say? Day 3 was a total bust. Dad woke up to a
dead battery in the Pathfinder and was forced to get
a jump start off of his Harley Davidson. (That was
fun! NOT!) Once we got the SUV going we drove straight
to Wal-Mart where he parked under a big light so he
could remove the old battery/take it inside the store
and match it up with a new one! (Thanks to Russ and
Pat for their help!)
$58 later dad came back out to the car only to realize he'd locked
the car and the auto door locks would not work because THERE WAS
NO BATTERY! So, he had to open the manual window lock on my door,
crawl through the car and open the hood!
From there it was a quick install
and BINGO! Back in business. However, by that
time it was kinda late to start anything else
so Dad decided just to take it easy and do
some work around the house.
Back to work tomorrow! More pictures on
the way!!! Friday night, we'll be at the
Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur! Huzzah!!!
Fondly,
