Default What are the odds?

Now that I have the El Camino ready to sell (have it listed locally on CL) decided to get after a couple other small projects before the deep dive back into the LT-1 resto.

I think I will also be selling the AMG SL55. I just don't drive it. I keep it on two battery tenders. Yeah, over engineered and has two batteries; one under the hood and one in the trunk. Replaced the trunk battery about 3 years ago. Went to start it to pull it down to my shop and the under hood battery was dead. The battery tender I had just taken off 30 seconds earlier was showing full charge. Crap. Have to buy a new battery. I was able to jump start it with my 41 year old Bimmer without issue.

Drive the AMG down to the shop, making certain to NOT turn it off. Before I can pull it in the shop, I see that I need to move the Denali forward a few feet. Battery is dead on the Denali! Thumbitch! Two in one day. I was able to get it out of park and push it forward enough to get the MB in.

I am walking back to the house, and here comes Sherri the other direction. I figured she was just coming down to the shop to check on me. She asks what is wrong with the Prius. You guessed it. Dead battery!!!! That one I should have been braced for. It is 13 years old.

Three cars with dead batteries. All three drove fine last week. Here is the REALLY odd part. I walk in the living room and our clock is 3 hours behind. Yep. Dead battery.

What cha gonna do? Have a very full weekend planned, but realize some of those plans have now been interrupted. Oh well. Such is life, right?
