The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

Good evening. Temp is 72° but the humidity is a wet 100%. Rain chance is 50%.

The nurse called this morning to let me know she was coming. I went out to start my van and absolutely nothing happened. No lights, no click, nothing. I cleaned the clamps and posts. Still nothing. Put the charger on it and it said check battery. Put a meter on the battery and it returned 0.01 volts. It was deader than three coffin nails! So I called the nurse back and asked her to pick me up at my trailer and take me down to my fathers place so she could do her job. She got the dressings changed quickly and went about her way. I then asked my father exactly what he was trying to tell me on the phone earlier about the truck. I have a weird hearing problem that scrambles up speech and sounds. I can work out what a person is saying fairly fast when I can see them. On the phone it's hit and miss many times, particularly with someone who doesn't talk above a loud mumble many times. So he explained it to me and showed me everything that had been replaced and the tune-up that had been done. I found it all to be agreeable. He wanted $500 for it so I wrote him a check for that amount and he signed the truck over to me. We'll be getting the bill of sale and title done next week then I can get the registration from my van transferred to the truck then I'll have it put on my insurance. He wasn't happy with me for tearing up part of the yard for some reason. Can't imagine why. Nothing but weeds grow in that particular area. But then one mans weeds is another mans grass. I told him it served him right for not telling me the truck had three times the power it had over a year ago. At least now I can go do my shopping and go to my doc appointments and not have to call for a ride home.

That's it for today. See y'all tomorrow.
