Car started but I went through drive-thru just in case;  Also talked to neighbors.

-- 10:30a  Inside after biking 5+5;  Breakfast @home: sausage/egg McMuffin (free with loyalty points) + apple raisin oatmeal

Yeterday, they said it would start raining by 2p;  This morning, they said it would start around 10a,

but now they're saying 1p or  more likely 2p;  Headache persists.

-- 12:02p  Inside after biking 5 mi  and talking to neighbor;  "Found" (03/13/25)

--   2:00p  Leaving to bike before the rain starts.

After riding a couple blocks, I heard thunder and headed back but was caught in sudden downpour.

--   6:49p  Inside after biking 2 mi (Total 17 mi today);  It's much colder -- I should have worn warmer jacket.

~~ I found that zap2it, a site that provides a fairly good TV grip that I've been using for years

now reverts to NewsNation, which seems to only cover it's own schedule -- and it's not a grid --

since a grid isn't really needed when you cover only one channel.

~~  However, a search pointed to gracenote.com, which seems to have the exact same format

that was used by zap2it and uses the same loginid and password and remembers my preferences!

Sat
-- 12:25a  Bed

--   8:08a  Up

--   8:40a  Leaving to bike, then get breakfast

--   9:30a  After biking 5 mi and talking to neighbor, tried to start car and it failed.

The starter was cranking but the engine wouldn't start.

--   9:55a  AAA said they'd be here in 25 mins

-- 10:00a  Breakfast @home: PB&T

-- 10:21a  Biked 1.5 mi and then the AAA guy arrived

He jumped it with a device that also tested the battery.  He says it was reading 12.2

but 12.6 is needed to start the car.  He didn't think that I needed a new battery.

It seems that pumping up bike tires yesterday in accessory mode might have been 

a bit too much for the battery.

-- 10:28a  The guy left and I biked 3.5 mi, while car continued running in garage to charge battery.

-- 10:58a  Leaving to pickup dinner @Ghareeb Nawaz:  Curry chicken

I was able to park right outside the storefront so I left the car running.

-- 12:00p  Inside after biking 5 mi

--   2:40p  Finished reviewing tax forms and writing out checks

--   3:00p  Leaving to bike, then get dinner @McD: 2 fish sandwiches (one free for answering online survey)

After biking 5 mi, the car started, but it seemed to be having a little trouble.

After eating, the car wouldn't start on first try, but it started on the 2nd try.

I drove straight to the dealership, but the service department was already closed.

~~  I went to an oil change place, which was closing, but they don't have batteries.

They suggested O'Reilly's, saying they were open until 9p.  But, on the way there

I was passing a Firestone and decided to pull in.  I left the car running.

~~  They seemed hesitant, since it seems that they'd be closing soon, and, they

don't actually have the batteries there.  I implied that I'd come back tomorrow

but I went to O'Reilly's.

~~  The guy said he could install it, but I'd have to wait until there were not

customers in the store.  So, I waited and he was able to change the battery.

Luckily, the car did start.  Now the question is will it start tomorrow.

~~  On the way, I saw a new restaurant, Jeff's Bagel Run, which is not yet open.

They're a chain, but this will be the first one north of North Carolina.

They do NOT seem to have sanwiches, just spreads.  None of them have lox, and

if they did, I would assume its base would be cream cheese.  I can't see

myself going there more than once.  It's near the high school, so

I suspect it will only be successful if the students like the place.

After watching a series of ads, the movie started and a few seconds later the app crashed.

After restarting, it showed just one short ad and then we quickly got to the flying monkeys.

And then it got to the end without further interruptions.

~~  I was not especially impressed with the movie.  The work that went into it was obvious

but it seemed to drag on too long, and it covered only half of the Broadway version 

(which I have NOT seen).  But I wanted to see how the songs that I've heard fit into the

story, so now I know.

stopped paying for the rental as of the 13th.  I called the repair shop, expecting

that they finished it on the 13th and somehow failed to leave a message on my machine,

but, instead, they said it should be finished by tomorrow.

~~  So, I called the rental company and explained.  Apparently, for unknown reasons,

the insurance company seemed to believe that the shop told them it was finished

as of the 13th.  We don't know if the shop mistakenly make that notification.

But the rental company says they'll notify the insurance company that the payment

needs to be extended.  Whether or not it will be remains to be seen.  And it remains

to be seen if the car will be finished tomorrow, because the shop hasn't been very

good with communicating.

They also had trouble doing so but were able to create a cashier's check and then deposit that.

They don't see a problem with that.

They were giving away either a double smashburger or Indian fried chicken, plus fries.

I don't think they understand the concept of a smashburger -- it's supposed to be thin.

~~  Funny thing is that there was a restaurant called Smashburger in the same shopping center

but it closed.  There are 6 others, but I don't know if they're open.

One of them was just on the news because it was robbed, along with other nearby restaurants.

the line this morning was 8 people.  It looked like 3 times that, so I turned around immediately.

definitely by Monday.  Now, they're saying, "It should be any day now."

So, they had been saying they didn't have the parts, but, if they have the parts,

how long is it supposed to take to put them on?  It almost implies that they're

still working on cars that have been there longer than mine?

Biked 1 mi on damp streets; Originally, I expected to stay home but the rain had stopped.

-- 12:16p  My landline gave 2 short rings and stopped, and it later happened again.

I called from my cellphone and it did the same thing and just kept ringing -- my

answering machine didn't pick up.  Then I used my landline to call my cellphone and

it said it was unavailable -- it didn't ring.  I've had the problem with the landline

before when there was bad weather -- which is currently true.

~~  I had a tech come out in December and the problem went away, even though he didn't

seem to actually do anything to fix the problem.

~~  When I tried to call out again on my cell, it said it was not registered on a network.

That happened in December, too, but it cleared up quickly.
