The truck was loaded. The house was set. Ken had just locked the door, while I was starting the truck. Except the truck would not start. Nothing. First a grinding, then nothing. Just in the nick of time, we were still at home at the lake in Texas. At 11:15, I spoke with the AAA to hear that help was on the way.
Talk about luck. The young man arrived and discovered that the battery was dead. The truck is a Ford 150, 2006 and still had the original battery. Soon, a new battery was installed and the paper work completed, including the three year warranty. By 12:15, we were on the way to Mississippi, thanks to the AAA and the polite young man.
These new vehicles give you no warning that the battery soon will die. All of a sudden, the truck will not start. As we were about to get on the road to Mississippi and as we do not drive always on the main highways, no telling where we might have broken down. Today, we just got lucky.
