Everything is Breaking

Monday, September 26th, 2005

So many things are not going right. First off, my cell phone will not get any reception, at all.

Next, my starter went bad. I had it replaced Saturday and later that night while 30 minutes from home, the car wouldn’t start. The battery was dead (18 month warranty — too bad its been about 24). I got a jump and took it home. Hooked up the battery charger to it and let it charge for a day and a half.

This morning I was to take it to the place where the starter was replaced and then to Pep Boys. The battery isnt holding a charge. My dad says to go to storage and take the boat battery. I get the boat batteryand come back home. When I go to unhook the car battery, I notice the bolt to tighten the wire to the neg. terminal is cracked. Mom says to forget it and wait for dad. I pull the truck out of the way so Mom can get out of the driveway. Thats when I see the boat battery in the street, on its side, cracked, leaking acid.

In conclusion, I need to repair/replace:

  1. a cell phone
  2. a car battery
  3. a battery terminal hoop
  4. a boat battery
  5. possibly a starter
