Log jam or log preserves? LOL. It wasn't that long ago that the land owners around us harvested a good portion of their woods. The results are stacks of logs here and there. This one, I'm guessing, belongs to the Artsy Organized Neighbor or someone like him (as Ur-spo might say).
Each of these logs is one meter long.
We have a car problem to deal with today. The Citroën's battery has given out and, alas, the poor car won't start. Cold weather may be the culprit. Since cars are Ken's domain, he will do most of the work. That mostly means phoning the rescue folks provided by our insurance company and our local garage for a jump and possibly a new battery. We've been, as you might say, "down this road" before with the other car. I am here for support.
Oh you poor guys with the dead battery. There, there. (Was that decent support?)
ReplyDeleteThe log stack is a masterpiece.
That reminds me that my car is due an oil change....I don't know how you get those top logs down off that tall stack.
ReplyDeleteI had the battery problem about a month ago... for me, it was really corroded battery terminals (the battery was only a year old, and measured strong, still). It didn't take a good charge from driving it, after I got it jumped, because of the corroded terminals. I had the terminals cleaned, and then it didn't pass state emissions inspection --ha! Why? Because when the battery was unhooked for the cleaning, it threw off the sensor that the emissions test uses. Sooooooo, then I had to drive it for about 150 miles, and go BACK to the emissions inspection, and all went well.
ReplyDeleteAnd, now, a territorial robin is sh*tting all over the side doors of the car every day, because it sees itself in the windows. Jeeeeeeze.
We took our car (purchased in 2010) in for some planned repairs before taking a long trip through the mountains to visit family. Luckily, they did a quick inspection and determined that our battery only had 9% life left. This led to an additional $800+ (CAD) to replace the battery that we hadn’t expected. With hundreds of miles between urban centres in the mountains, we weren’t taking any chances. Who knew batteries were so expensive now. I don’t recall ever having to replace it in all the years of owning the car. Hope you don’t have to spend as much on one for your car. C.
