MORNING D-LEGIONNAIRES!
43° this morning with a high of 60° expected. Rained off and on all day and night yesterday so, we got a pretty good soaking.
@Sawnee Cat I went to Walmart yesterday after doctor's appointment to get some more lures, hooks, and liters. Upon returning to my vehicle I saw a woman in the next parking lane trying to jump her minivan with one of those handheld apparatuses designed to make it convenient and easy. It was either low on charge or just not powerful enough to do the trick so, I offered my assistance to jump it for her. She had twin sons who were in their late teens (guessing) who were just standing there next to each other with stoic looks on their faces. As I got my cables and hooked them up to my battery, I tried to give the other end to one of the boys who just looked at me and said nothing. Mom stepped in and took the clamps and then hooked them up.
She then told one of them to try to start the van. I told her it would probably take a few minutes to charge, but he tried anyway. He tried but it just clicked. I told him to wait a few minutes, but he just kept cranking. Finally, his mother told him to stop so he got out of the van, walked over to his brother. and just stood there like before. After about 5 minutes or so she tried, and it started. I disconnected the cables, and she thanked me for my help. Not one word from the boys the whole time. You could see that they had no clue of what to do. That is the norm these days unfortunately.
Well, TGIF for those of you still working, and be careful out there (especially you train and bus riders).
God Bless.
