Jeep Troubles Resolved

car trouble, jeep, life

Our Jeep failed to start in the Safeway parking lot Monday evening. It’s fixed now. The battery had failed so badly that jump starting failed.
Had I known it was just the battery, I would have bought one at an auto parts store, popped it in, and off we’d go. Oh well.
The Jeep was towed to Central Az Auto Techs (highly recommended) where they figured it out and fixed it. We have towing coverage on our car insurance and so we’ll see how much of the towing charge this will cover.
Years ago something as common and trivial as a car problem would have really upset me. Not this time, though I was concerned about a potentially big expense. I was able to let the anger and anxiety go before they took root and took over. I’m happier about this than I am over avoiding a big expense.

The other day I blogged a photo of our Granny Smith apples on the tree. They are there no longer. I picked them on Monday, we have about 20 pounds of apples. Pictured is one that I’m eating as I type. This year’s crop is very tasty, tart but not overpoweringly so. I left them on the tree until fully ripe. I gave a bag of them to good friend Anne, I’ll share a couple more bags, use some myself, then they will be gone until next year.

car trouble, jeep, life

Our 1997 Jeep Cherokee with just under 100K miles on it broke down tonight. I went to Safeway for groceries, when I tried to start it nothing happened. Gary came over we jumped it. It cranked a little but failed to start.
We were in Phoenix on Sunday, and had no problems with the Jeep. It would have been much worse if it failed on the highway on Sunday night.
Tomorrow we will have our mechanic figure out what’s what.
