Batt-ing 1000

 The saga has now hopefully come to a close. The battery was indeed the issue, and since being towed and repaired the car is now back to fully functional.

Check in again next week of course, because I wouldn't be surprised if there's a post for a part 3. But I knock on wood.

Also, if you have trouble accessing the discord, please mention so in the comments! I've heard word of some having issues, which I've looked into and hopefully resolved with the new PTE Discord Widget.

2020, too

 Near the end of 2021, the day before Christmas Eve specifically, bad luck struck.

I drove over a nail, as I later found out. So on Christmas Eve, We awoke to a flat tire. We called AMA, who tried to re-inflate the tire. It was to no avail, so we switched the tire for the donut.

Now, this happened during a cold snap, in winter. So we had 3 winter tires...and a donut. Driving on ice. The experience of driving to the automotive shop was unique to say the least. A donut tire is similar to driving on a bicycle tire. By the time I finished my slow drive, I was motion sick. But, I made it there safely.

The Monday after Christmas, the auto shop patched the tire, and we were back to rolling.

That is, until today.

Bad luck struck once again.

This time, the car refuses to start. We assume it to be the battery, because of the earlier cold snap lingering, then intensifying into the new year. As well, our power plug for the car seems to have frayed from the cold, which could have helped the battery drain. We shall see what the final outcome is.

I say that, because AMA is now massively backlogged, so much so that we've been told to try again tomorrow. 

So the saga continues...
