a good sign

Post by monkeymissile »

my truck had been sitting all winter in it's wimpy little enclosure, buried under snow and ice. I recruited the next door neighbor's son to shovel it off each time it snowed. I didn't have the opportunity to do any winter maintenance to it, never took out/charged the batteries, etc. Yesterday was sunny and almost 60 and I thought I'd just try to turn it over. I was sure nothing would happen. To my surprise and joy, it turned over immediately and fired up without hesitation. I was tickled pink!
