Could have been worse...

Yesterday we went to Marni's grandmothers house to help with the yard work. I brought along my trusty weed eater. Of course as gas powered equipment tends to do, it leaked and smelled up the van. So, upon arrival I took it out of the van and placed it on the ground. I left the back door of the van open to clear the air. At the end of the day I put the weed eater back in the van (of course I didn't use it) and closed the door. When I turned the ignition to start the van...the battery was dead. YIKES!!! I tried jump starting it with grandmas truck but that didn't work. All of the men folk had headed out for Stake Conference and I figured I was left alone to find the correct tools and a place to buy a new battery. Fortunately grandma called a cousin who happens to work at a small garage. I stopped by there and picked up a new battery, borrowed some tools and headed back to install it. Marni helped me find the correct socket and I was able to install the battery. The new battery is great!! We dropped the core off on our way home, thanked all that were involved, and stopped at Burger King for dinner. All is well in Zion!
