I Am Glad I Went

Three days ago, I wanted to go to Joanne's Fabrics and look for some items to purchase so that I can make some yarn-related project bags. When I turned the key to start the car, it had a slow start. I was afraid that it wasn't going to. Before I headed down to Joanne's, I drove across town and back. I was trying to decide whether to go ahead and take a chance of the car not starting while I'm clear down at the south end of town or to stop by the auto repair shop and have the mechanic test the battery. I went ahead to the auto shop. I'm glad I made that decision. The mechanic told me that the starter was pulling more juice from the battery than what the battery has. I asked how the battery and alternator tested and he told me that they were good. The starter got starter was replaced with a new one that afternoon. I had to let loose of about $270. Ouch! After I paid the bill, I heard the lovely sound of a new starter. I actually love the sound of it! It has a light mechanical whine to it.
