Cousin #2 was over yesterday and so was AAA. The young man charged up the battery and started the car. #2 pulled the car out into the driveway and shut it off. It wouldn't start. She ran after the AAA guy and he jumped the car again. After he left, it wouldn't start. She couldn't get the hood of her car open to jump the Subaru; so she is coming back today. I may have to call AAA again. I think they should give me a new battery.
The washer repair guy will be coming this afternoon. Let's hope THAT works.
Breakfast - Fruit and nut bar
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Lemon chicken, rice, roll, mixed veggies, apple juice, tropical fruit
Dessert/Snack - Natural brownie, 70% dark chocolate, unsalted peanuts
Dinner - Chicken/vegan cheese sandwich, veggie poppables, blueberries
What did you eat yesterday?

Why would they give you a new battery? I mean I know it is relatively new but the car is never driven. You can't expect the battery to stay charged that way. And why would your cousin turn it off right after it had been jumped? You are supposed to let it run for awhile to recharge. In any case I thought you were selling the car anyway.

The first time she let it run for 1/2 hour. She was going to drive it; but made the mistake of shutting it off; and it wouldn't restart. We are going to the Title Bureau probably on Thursday to transfer the car into her (cousin #2) name.

Did the AAA guy check that the charging circuit was working? Once the engine is running he should get a volt meter to check that it’s sufficient to charge the battery. If it is, then it’s either the battery is duff or you have something draining it. He should have checked all this before leaving.
