Ever wake up and the first thing you encounter for the day is excitement?
Today is turning out to be one of those days. Please end soon!!
I call to a restaurant (that I went for an interview on the weekend) to see when I start. The manager was not in. He forgot to put me on this week's schedule/or changed his mind about hiring me. I have left a message asking what is going on? Need to know asap.
I hop into my jeep, ready to do errands for the day. Guess what? It is dead, I mean DEAD. On Monday I went shopping and the back hatch door was frozen, so I could not get it open. I must of opened it part way, cause on Tuesday evening, I go out to the jeep and the back door is wide open. Funny thing nobody stole a thing.
I shut the door and don't think about it. Today when I went to start it, it was dead from leaving the door and the light on for 24 hours.
Crisis..........I do not own a battery charger. I think who do I know that is home during the day and can help me? Ah YES........my friend Raj works at home.
I give him a call and he says he can drop off a battery charger. GREAT!!! Thank heavens for Guy Friends.
I have a new hood release in the jeep. It is almost impossible to pull the hood button from inside the jeep. Raj tried and no luck.
I took the blow dryer to it and warmed it up. That didn't work. I tried a pair of pliers. NO LUCK. Finally, in desperation, I went and got a hammer.
I used the claw from the hammer and yanked and yanked on the hood button for a hour. Finally it popped open. Then I took a can of WD40 and sprayed that hood release cord and hood release button, so it never sticks again.
Wish me well, the jeep has started and I am heading out the door to do errands.
UPDATE
Jeep is happy again. Put the charger on it and is went zoom zoom again.
I am employed again!!! Woo Hoo. Someone else I worked for before asked me to come work for them again. Great news is it is a hop, skip and a jump away. I walk out my door and walk a few steps and I am at work. No winter driving. I'm loving that.

Sorry to hear you were having a difficult start to November!
I have a battery charger, but does
no good in Kelowna and you are in Calgary! Glad Raj could help. :)
I was half expecting to hear you tore the cable end off with the claw hammer! That would have been the icing on the cake!
