So recently I lost my radio antenna off my Golf.
I thought it happened during a recent storm as I said here. Well, it was found by Tom as he was walking up the Mountain. He kindly left it in my mug of writing implements. Too funny.

Car antenna found

Storm Casualty
Mar 19
So after the big storm on Friday, I went out Saturday morning to dig my car out. We had about 8-10″ of snow with a 1/4″ layer of ice on top, which meant you had to break through that before you could shovel anything. So it took about 45 minutes to get the car out of the parking spot (with some much appreciated pushing from one of my neighbors) and then I went to clear off the rest of the roof and the rear of the car. And guess what I didn’t find? Oh, 5/6ths of my antenna. The sucker snapped off in the storm. Maybe I’ll find it at the edge of the parking lot when all the snow melts.
Happiness is a bad battery

So my 3 year old battery was bad and Sears replaced it for me. I was 2 weeks outside the 36 month 100% replacement warranty but it was still ok ’cause the new battery only cost me $12.99 and another $10 for them putting it in purchase and installation of a new rear window wiper for a grand total of $23. How often is it that one can pay for a car repair in cash?
The joys of car ownership

Off to Sears tonight to have my 3 year old Die Hard battery replaced. Since Tom has had to come by and jump start my car for three mornings running, it seems worthwhile to tootle over to Sears and have them look at the battery. With luck, that’s all the problem is. I don’t want to think about things like starter motors and alternators.
