Battery Blowout

Well it was quite the Monday of all Mondays!

Sunday afternoon I went in to work to finish a project. I left about 5pm and my car wouldn't start. Ugh! Was it battery or something worse? Thankfully Sam came and we were able to jump start it.

Got up Monday morning and it wouldn't start.  Bestie Lynn had offered to give me a ride to work but decided instead to take the battery in to be checked.  Sam came over and took the battery out then later on Lynn stopped by to give me a ride to battery place. Yep, the battery was dead and gone. Picked up a new battery then back to home

Well dammit couldn't get one of the connectors to fit the right battery stump. Could not figure it out! Twisted and wrenched on the beast but to no avail. Had to wait til Sam was off work to stop by and fix the situation.

After work Sam investigated and we finally realized we had not removed the plastic cap from the stump!  Solution sitting in plain sight but didn't see it. Pulled that sucker off, connected it (after squeezing the connector to put it back in original shape), and the car started like a champ!!

Missed a day of work yesterday but will be back at it today. So much for working over the weekend to be caught up this week!!

Big tremendous thanks to Lynn and Sam for helping in my time of need!!! ❤
