Mowed the lawn today, after letting it get pretty long. With the wife and kids away I tend to let these things go. The grass looks great, so much rain this year.
Put $170 bucks into the car last week, new brakes. Didn't expect it so soon, had work done just two years ago. Sad to say, the shop didn't guarantee the work past one year. So I went to another shop.
That was fine, sort of, but this week suddenly it won't start. Turn the key, plenty of juice in the battery, but nothing, not even a solenoid click. Bad connection somewhere? Maybe, but hard to test, because it only happens sometimes, and I can't make it happen when I have it at the shop. It didn't start this morning or last night. But it did later this afternoon, after sitting in the hot sun. I suspect moisture is getting in somewhere, so it works when it is dry but fails when wet. 12 years old and 100,000-plus miles, things break.
