Dave Is Alive!!!! He’s Alive!!!!

But there are some folks at the Walmart Automotive Jerkoff Center who might not be soon.

So, as you all already know, Dave’s battery took the long walk off the short pier about  a month ago.  So, I had the battery replaced.  Even checked the little book to make sure it was all correct.  CCA’s, voltage, you name it.

Then, my mistake, I let Walmart jerkoffs install the battery.

ITEM NUMBER ONE:  They did not secure the battery as it should have been.

ITEM NUMBER TWO:  They did not secure the positive cable to the positive battery terminal particularly well.  Which is to say, not at all.

So this morning I get a call from the mechanic, to whom I had Dave towed…

Mechanic:  Hey man, there’s nothing wrong with your electrical system on this truck.  The positive cable came loose so it wasn’t charging or sending electric to the system.

tWBS:  Wow, I probably coulda figured that out meself if I’d tried, huh?  How much I owe you for your time?

Mechanic:  Well, nothing I guess.

(Now, I like this guy, been using him for years (so to speak) and he has always played straight with me)

tWBS:  Nope.  I’ve already taken up your time due to my stupidity and lack of checking simple things.  So, it’s not quite ready mileage wise, but go ahead and do the oil and filter and rotate the tires.  I’ll see ya in a few hours.

Mechanic:  Cool.  I’ll call you when we’re done.

And now, I must make a strongly worded telephone call to the Walmart Automotive Jerkoff Center.

This gon’ be fun.

But Dave is alive and well.  Woo hoo!!!!!

Come on Dave, we gotta be at the airport in a week and half.  We got light poles to crash thru n junk.

(still wonder why my insurance agent loves me?)
