Assaults on My Batteries

      ...and other technical stuff

After my return from Red Rock, I had no further trips planned for about three weeks. Time to schedule a look at the cooktop in the camper. Earlier this summer, we were using it and flames started shooting up from a place where flames shouldn't be. I can make do with a campfire, the microwave, and my electric skillet, but obviously the stove needed to be checked. I took it in to a dealer in Davenport and they reported back that a burner needed replacing, but it would take a couple of weeks to get the part.

Meanwhile, this week I made a short trip by car to spend a couple of days with my friend Joanie at her house north of Burlington. We had a great visit but when I got ready to leave my car wouldn't start--dead battery. So we two old ladies both had to get our manuals out to even figure out how to prop up the hoods (I know, I should have known this) but we managed to get jumper cables hooked up and my buggy started. I hopped in immediately and made it home, but an hour later it wouldn't start again. I know the battery is quite old so called the Ford dealer and they promptly came and got it, put in a new battery and changed the oil. So my little kiwi colored Escape is road worthy again.

The next day I called the RV dealer to arrange to pick Agatha up that afternoon and bring her back when they had the part. My friend Letha graciously agreed to take me over and we milled around looking at gadgets while we waited for them to bring Agatha up. Finally they came back and said it wouldn't start--dead battery. Now that battery is only three months old so I went with them and discovered they had left the radio on. They finally got it jumped and once again we hit the road and made it home. It still starts this morning so I think the radio was the problem.

As if these technical problems weren't enough of a challenge this week, I had ordered new rope lights for my deck. The previous ones dated back to the building of the pergola in 2006 and had given up the ghost. The lights were here when I got home Thursday so Friday morning I went out to install them. Got out the ladder, put up the new brackets, snapped in the lights, and hooked up an extension cord that runs over the top of the pergola to an outlet on the side of the house. Plugged them in and nothing. Tried a couple of other cords but still nothing. Finally I took the lights back down and brought them in the house to plug them in. They don't work. Aaaargh.

Today I plan to do some reading and writing and hope my Kindle and my computer don't blow up.
