The truck is dead, long live the truck.

So the Vagabond died this weekend. I went to silky’s with Lou, Kelly, b1uebutterf1y, beststephi and a visiting hurtsogood. Then left and went to see Frida with beststephi, sui66iy, anisodragnfly, max1975, kolojakechick, Eric and Jen. Upon leaving the movie, I discovered that the Vagabond wouldn’t start. Got a ride home from beststephi and had it towed the next day.

The tow truck driver seemed to think it was a bad fuel pump, which seemed consistent with the symptoms. But Pep Boys seems insistent that it was a bad battery. Now the battery was strong enough to start the lights and the radio, and try to start the ignition, and trying to jump the truck off of beststephi‘s van didn’t work. But they put in a new battery and now it starts. Maybe I just needed more CCAs. Ah well… here’s hoping I don’t break down somewhere between here and work.

    I used to listen to All-4-One a lot when I was in HS. That song especially. I am sure I still have the CD not that I have listened to it since I broke up with my boyfriend of the time. 😉

    Oh… I just ripped like every CD I would ever remotely listen to, and I usually play them on random. iJournal even sucks in the title and artist for me when I write a post.

    How was Frida? Worth seeing?

    It was ok. It was pretty enough and the acting was good enough that you were able to forget that there isn’t actually a plot.

    (Easiest way not to have a broken car: don’t own one.)

    Not really an option… 1) Buses are driven by scary people who might kidnap you. 2) There’s no way for me to really ride a bus out to where I work anyway. 3) Even if there was, it would take forever.
