6.027 battery, music

Sunday 12/29/2024

Yesterday I tried to sign up to do a docent tour today at 12. However looking at the schedule this morning, I realized I had not actually finalized the sign-up dialog they use, so I probably wasn’t signed up, but maybe I was. So I put on my red CHM shirt and went down to the car at 11, figuring I’d go down to the museum and if I wasn’t needed, fine, no harm no foul.

And the car was stone dead. I think possibly I had left an interior light on when I last parked it more than a week ago. Anyway, not going to CHM. Instead I had to call AAA. The AAA guy came in half an hour and was very helpful. He noted the 12 volt battery was only a year old (I did not remember authorizing the dealer to replace it, but whatever) and it registered in poor condition on his meter — on a scale I don’t understand. Anyway he didn’t offer to replace it but instead suggested I get the dealer to do a warranty replacement ASAP.

I drove the car a bit and it seemed fine. I’ll know more tomorrow.

The Good Times committee is getting back in operation for the February 14th show of Love Songs, and I was reminded I’ve committed to singing “Annie’s Song” by John Denver. So I spent some time finding music and lyrics for that. This is kind of an annoyance because I have a list of other songs I want to learn and practice, with an eye to someday doing a concert. But I’ll have to focus on Annie for the next month.

Frank from FOPAL writes that there are 15 (fifteen!) boxes of books by the computer section. So my plan is to spend the day at FOPAL tomorrow.
