We have had three days of very dense fog overnight and most of each morning (luckily no golf delays though). I alerted Colleen to use her fog lamps on the way to school, and to make sure she turned them off when she parked so the car battery wouldn't die. This happened to Melissa in high school and she had to wait for AAA and miss crew practice while the battery recharged. Anyway, I went to a holiday party last night, a cookie exchange where no cookies were exchanged, but some alcohol was consumed. Got up this morning and low and belold my car wouldn't start! Yes, I left my fog lamps on all night and I had no power. AGH. Called Mercedes to come jump my car and found out that my smart car has two batteries, one for the engine and one for the extra stuff. If I used the key fob to start the car and not the keyless start, the car should and indeed did, start! Yeah! I learn something new all the time.
Not having dad around every day has forced me to be somewhat self sufficient in troubleshooting problems that I usually left to him. He probably has found the same thing true as well. I'll be glad when we are back living together every day and we can revert to our own realm of expertise!
