It cranked over, barely, and ... no go.

Luckily the garage we use for fleet maintenance was one block away (just next to the building the client was going to for her next appointment). We walked over, she going her to appointment, me going to the garage. One of the mechanics drove me back with a battery booster and gave me a boost, and suggested that when I was done for the day, bring the vehicle in and have the battery checked.

I waited for the client, drove her home, went and filled up with gas and then back to the garage. Battery check showed the battery was just about dead (this was a 2005 mini-van, still on the original battery). Got the OK from the boss to get the battery changed, and was back at the office ten minutes later.

They called. $1,000.00. One Thousand Bucks.

ARRGGHHHHHH!@!!!
