Rough morning. My truck started reluctantly, reminding me that it is now 6-1/2 years old and 100F-plus temperatures are hard on old batteries. Drove directly to the AutoZone store, but their test equipment was not functioning. So I drove to a nearby competitor, battery tested bad but they had no replacement in stock.
Truck refused to start. Next step, call the mobile service guy for a jump. $55 later and back to AutoZone for a new battery. Top of the line AGM technology, only $255 plus tax.
Back on the road by 1:30PM. I've been enjoying International Beer day since then.
Waiting for a service truck while the thermometer is topping 103F is when you really start appreciating a cold beer.
