Luck


It's a funny thing....

All perspective. If you feel like you're experiencing good luck, you are. If you feel like your experiencing bad luck, you are.

So, I talked to an old friend that I had bumped into at the store yesterday and he filled in on how bad he's felt his luck has been.

Flat tire, leaking transmission fluid, power steering going out....

And that was just over the course of the past twenty four hours. He'd been experiencing this type of luck for the past two years or so, he'd stated. I empathized with him but secretly thank my lucky stars I wasn't going through what he was going through.

Fast forward to this morning when I get up, get ready for work, head to my car, and find a dead battery.

Wait.... What?!?

Recently I've felt as though I'd been experiencing some pretty good luck, as of late.

Has my old friend's bad luck somehow deposited itself onto me???

Feeling as though I was adequately prepared and ready to tackle this problem, I grabbed the jump box out of my utility room and popped my hood.

Hooked her up.

Let her sit.

Nothing....

Let her sit some more.

Nothing....

So I unhook the jump box, take her into the house, plug her into the wall....

Dead jump box.

Oh My Fucking God

What's the point of having one if I don't have the fucking thing charged???

Apparently in my attempt to be as prepared as possible, I had neglected to check the thing periodically to make sure it was still fully charged. I've only used it once since I've owned it and it wasn't even for my own car.

I can't even tell you how long ago it was when I checked it last.

So, here I sit, waiting for the box to charge, late for work, and wondering if I've been cursed with an old friends bad luck.

Happy Wednesday!

I got it started, but it wouldn't hold a charge. It was just time for a new battery.

    Being a master mechanic I tend to consider shit breaking on cars outside of the good luck / bad luck continuum, because well, shit on cars breaks. Doesn't make it suck any less when it happens though.

    Better check your battery to make sure it's not close to pushing up daisies, because winter's coming and will finish that job in a heartbeat.
It was the battery. The more I thought about it today, the more I thought it was actually good luck for me. The battery died at home in my driveway, not on the side of the road or somewhere random. Even though it wasn't charged, I did have the jump box and was able to charge it to get it started so I could drive it to the auto parts place. Everything flowed smoothly, which was much appreciated by me.

    You remember those turkeys you were having that stare-off with? Yeah, they were putting a hex on you. lol
    How old is your battery? Probably time to replace it, especially with winter just around the corner. Plus maybe a battery charger? The jump box is fine, but just like batteries, they can go bad as well.
I needed a new battery. I charged the jump box, started my car, but it didn't hold the charge once I'd turned it off. I ended up driving to the auto parts place and having them test it and replace it.

I like the turkey theory..... LOL
