battery

It came back to haunt me.



Just over a month ago, I thought I was so smart by installing a mini-fridge in the back seat of my news car (and filling it with Capri Sun fruit punch drinks).

We were having a grand old time - rolling down the street, sipping on fruit punch. But, I got a rude awakening one afternoon (after a 4 day weekend) when I tried to start my news car. The fridge completely drained the battery.

I repeat (with more emphasis):Completely drained the battery.

Anyway, to keep a short story short: The car has been fine, until the last 2 days - weeks later. Now I'm having all kinds of battery-related issues, and we had to get a 'jump' outside some fancy, high-society function that we had just finished covering (and tried to sneak out of gracefully - which didn't happen when we had to get our car jumped on the other side of the giant glass window they all were mocking watching us through).

/sigh

Other than that: it was a fine day.

Well, on the weekend I was gone (and left the fridge plugged in) one of the days was the 23rd.

And, yesterday my battery was dead just after 4pm.

Could be!

Or, your ill-advised lotto ticket. Maybe you didn't win, but maybe the numbers don't care.

LLR,
As Long as I've known you, you've been a pimp. But Maybe this time you got a little too funky fresh fly for you own good.

Peace Love and out.

HOLY CRAP!!! So I'm watching G4, the best nerd network ever. And BAMM!!! There's Seanbaby as one of the judges for "Videogame Vixens". It was almost like seeing a cartoon character come to life.
That was hilarious to be introduced to him and his middle finger on your site, and then see that he was on a cool cable show.

What you need is a solar panel car battery refesher. It's a little solar panel that you put on the dash to send a charge to the battery.

You can get them here.

They range from cheap ($30) to really expensive ($500).

You might be able to find them at camping stores.

Ahhhh...Big Pimpin
