Odometer 006900 - More fun

So, did I remember to tell you that my car registration and inspection expired at the end of October? And that I had forgotten to send in my registration sticker renewal form? So, since Nov 1, I haven't been able to drive my car to do errands or get around town until I at least got the registration card and sticker so I could go to an inspection station and get THAT taken care of too.

Well, I got the sticker, put it on, then got in the car to go run a quick errand (risking the inspection sticker thing - at least I was registered at that point). Turn the key, nothing. Hmmm - I guess between not driving at all for 3 weeks (longer then usual, I usually run errands at least once a week) and the recent cold shocks at night (frost the past few days), the battery ran out of juice and I've got a dead car.

So, looks like I'll just pay to get it towed over to the dealer, let them fix the battery and get it inspected at the same time (two birds with one stone).

On the plus side, yesterday was a very nice day out, so I just walked to the grocery store (about a mile away).
