Happy National Margarita Day, gang.
12 going to 10 with blowing snow. Not really a pretty day out there.
Well, my day certainly didn't go as planned yesterday. Got in the car to go to the gym, hit the button, and nothing happened. Yep, the dreaded dead battery. Pop the hood, put the charger on, and wait about 10 minutes. Took it to the repair shop and it's not the battery, it's the alternator. I just got back from dropping the car off. Rather a brisk mile walk home. Current wind chill is around zero and we had some freezing drizzle overnight which made it safer to walk in the streets on the way home. Only activity scheduled for today is to walk back and write a hefty check. I was told just north of $600. Next up is to go out and put some ice melt on the sidewalks.
All stay safe.
