Between same-day Amazon delivery, Fresh Market being a short walk away from Roseholme Cottage (and Fresh Thyme and a CVS just a short hop away via the Red Line bus), and having so many restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance, I hadn't actually driven my car since...the last time I'd gone to the range, maybe two or three weeks ago?
I walked to the garage, went to start the car, and... the battery in the Zed Drei barely had any juice.
Fortunately I had a jump starter* ready to hand to get the thing up and running. I drove it around for a bit before going to the range, and for another fifteen or twenty minutes afterward to get some fresh electrons in there.
But what the heck? I remember I replaced the battery in the Bimmer recently.
I remember replacing it because it had been the original one that was in there when I bought the car and the auto techs were amazed that it had lasted a dozen years...
A dozen years?
That means I replaced it back when I got the Z3 worked on...in 2014.
Eight years ago.
Yikes.
*Handy as a pocket on a shirt. I wish they'd been around in my hooptie-driving days.
