Buying a Battery

In a financial turn-around, I had more bucks than MySpouse. So I got to buy the new battery for his pickup. A month ago I bought a power washer. I'm really enjoying my trips to the masculine side of shopping. Of course, any shopping is good shopping.

I'm glad that all the truck needed was a new battery. I was afraid there might have been a more serious problem with the electrical system. Translation: a more expensive fix. As it was, the new battery was $70.00.

I understand the basic systems that make vehicles go. I'm just not interested in making them go myself. Lots of other people have mechanical talent; I don't.

I can make myself feel really guilty about my lack of interest in automobiles and their propulsion systems. I have to remind myself that different people have different talents. The person who can tell what model of car just drove by may not know the difference between a tomato plant and nightshade.
