I went to the mechanic early this morning to beat the crowds, and Jesse was able to look at the battery and couldn't find anything wrong with it. So he told me to bring it back if it happens again and they will put it on some type of analyzing machine. I kind of hoped they would do it this morning, but I was happy enough to be able to start the car and drive away. I was very low on gas and that was the first thing I had to do. I ran some other errands and came back home.
I've just been doing things around the house such as laundry and think tomorrow I might wash two pairs of curtains that I bought when I moved here. Who knows how old the other ones are and I'm going to toss them out. I hung 2 prs at each window in the past so they were nice and full, but now I'm just going to hang one pair and keep them pulled back so all the window shows. If I want to close them I think the two ends will meet in the middle, but without any fullness. I suits me until I figure out what I want to do. Meanwhile I sit and wait for my "workmen" to finish the job, and I don't expect anything to happen during the week.
Tomorrow I will open some paint cans and see if any of it is usable. One of these days I'm going to get rid of every can of anything I haven't opened in years, including some that the former occupant left. I'd love to have some room in my shed to store summer furniture and some of my larger camping items.
I sometimes wonder about myself. I love clean lines and uncluttered empty spaces, yet I never throw anything away! My right brain needs to talk to the left (or would it be vice versa?)

Just as a preventive measure, if your mechanic hasn't already done it, have the battery terminals removed, cleaned, reattached and tighten.
ReplyDeleteMany times a car won't start due to corrosion on the battery terminal that prevents the election trivial current from starting the car.
DeleteThank you for the advice. It sounds entirely likely that was what happened in my case. I will have someone check it.
Quite a few months ago I started cleaning out my shed of old paint cans, I was told that they paint must be dried out. I did a few and never finished the job it would give me so much more room.
ReplyDeleteSome paint stores in my area are accepting cans of paint that doesn't have to be totally dried out. I just have to figure out which ones they are. You might check in your area. I think some of ours are paint stores and I'm sure they hope to sell you paint. I would buy it from a business that took my old stuff back.
DeleteMe too loving open clean spaces and having too much "stuff". Our city had/has a "hazardous chemicals" day at the landfill when they would take anything and dispose of it properly. We always took old paint and other things there.

ReplyDeleteMaybe they just need to meet in the middle. ;>)
This post resonated with me...loving clean lines and uncluttered spaces...yet not being able to throw anything out :-(
