Yesterday we all went to see “Dick Tracy” together at the new Northeast Plaza Cinema 12. Twelve movies all $1.50 each for all shows. And Danny was free because he is 3 or under.

Kathy had to work at the Marriott today. Danny and I took Nicole to sunday school. We had to roll start the Fox because the battery decided to play dead last week. It’s done that before and come back to life, but it’s been consistantly dead over the past couple of dead. Makes you plan out your trips. Make sure you always park facing down hill.

Went over to Mom and Dad’s. Danny and Dad picked up a lot of pine cones for Kathy’s turkey project. We should be able to make about 30 good size pine cone turkeys. Mom gave me a hair cut. Dad and Danny went to pick up Nicole. They hid outside behind the bushes. That was Danny’s idea. What Dad didn’t know was that Nicole isn’t allowed out. You have to go get her. So after everyone had picked up their kids, Dad figured that hiding behind the bushes wasn’t such a great idea, so they went and got her.

While Nicole and Mom made pumpkin squares, Dad and I went out to take a look at the Fox. Dad noticed that the overflow tube on the top of the battery was disconnected. He then opened up one of the caps and reported that the battery had no water in it. No “electrolyte” according to the manual. So we borrowed some of Mom’s distilled water and filled up each chamber.

The car started.

So Danny, Dad, and I went on a little trip to recharge the battery. We’ll see if this was a long or short term fix, but I bet that would have cost me $200 if I had taken it in.

I thought I had one of those maintenance free batteries.

Sunny and about 60 degrees outside. Most of the trees still have colorful leaves. We’ve had a long show this fall.
