Car Problems
Today doesn't seem to be a very good day for my car. After going to work, my car battery died on me. I had to wait for AAA for about an hour but then I find out the battery was totally dead and couldn't give me a jump.
Then when they try to replace the battery the stupid thing was under the air filter and since I never changed the battery in this car before I couldn't get it off. Called a tow truck, waiting another hour, to get it at home, missed a whole day of work when I got home. Then after I go online to find out how to change the battery to the car. You have to pull the whole air filter out of the car to get to the battery. Really, you almost rip it out to get to it. Once I get the air filter out I start to remove the plugs to the battery and get my wrench stuck in one of the nuts. I almost was about ready to throw the car down a ramp in the woods after that.
Once I get most of the battery out I decided to take a bike ride to go grab some lunch in Deale. It was nice but the route was longer then I thought on bike. So I had lunch and came back home to relax, this was about 2:30pm while I wait for my mom to get home with a car that works. I feel asleep during this time cause I was so worked out from working on the car. After waking up I got the rest of the battery removed and took it with me to go get a new battery. Then once I came back after spending 90 dollars for a new battery. After getting help from our neighbor on getting the nut out of the wrench. I put the battery on. I needed my mom to help cause it was dark at this time. Put the battery in, air filter on, then the connections need to go on. Turns out I should have put the air filter on LAST. Take the filter out again, put the connection on and the connection was loose on the - so place it down and turn it a bit more. Placed the filter back on and closed it up. I'm just not having a good day today... ugh.
