well, it took a tiger torch, a new battery and a hero to start the truck. With a fire under the truck, a $100.00 battery later and gerald's frozen fingers he was able to save the day, well, actually the week, or to be more honest probably the whole friggin month. It is apparent that I rely much to heavily on my truck. We actually had to walk, horror of horror, to the convenience store to purchase milk and bread. Actually, I made Arianna walk. Honestly it feels much better to know that my truck works again, Crystal is coughing and hacking and at least now I know we can go see the medical professionals if need be.
