I think you are right... Real soon. Not yet we are almost there. The tow truck driver wanted to charge us $170 for a new battery. I just had him give me a jump and when I got home the van ran fine. W then told me that she sits in front of the school with the motor off but has the seat heater on. Today she not only had the seat heater on but forgot to shut off the lights.
Now normally this should not kill the battery is such a short time but this is the original battery so it’s 7 yo and batteries usually only last 5 .
Wife said we could not afford to buy a new one so she will just see how it goes. I could tell she was weary of using the van like this. ME? I don’t care if I got stuck I would get the van home somehow but W only knows where the gas goes in on cars. So while she was in the house I did go out and buy a battery and installed it myself for $80.00
ANTWAY if she did get stuck again all that would happen is she would end up calling me.
Ok confession time here. On the way to my wife’s “rescue” I had a flash back from my first marriage. After my first wife left me and she shacked up with her BF she kept calling me to fix things for her and like a fool I did. THEN on day her car broke down and she called me and I told her “you left me, you don’t need me. Get your BF to fix it”
I know I should not be thinking that way on this sitch but a part of me wanted to tell wife this also. But that urge passed…..
Back to your statement stuck… I agree I know I need to discuss this with someone but yes..19years ago I asked her to marry me on Christmas morning…Maybe it’s time again..


And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
