3 Guesses Why I Was Late to Work on Friday
Guess #1: Blue Beetle's battery was completely dead. Would not hold a charge. Could get a jump, but it would be DOA at work. So, I would have to get a jump there.
Guess #2: Grey Beetle's battery is dead too. It can take a charge. However, it needs to be on the charger for a couple of hours. It's battery was run down due to lack of use. New cars need to be driven frequently as the On Board Diagnostics are on constantly running down the battery.
Guess #3: It's not in the picture, but Old Reliable is out of commission too. My old 1972 Chevy Camaro that I've pulled out of mothballs to get me somewhere in a pinch. It's up on jack stands waiting for it's brake to be bled.
I did make it into work, eventually. The Grey Beetle charged up enough to where I could start it. Got into work at 12:30pm instead of my usual 10:00am.
