$85 well spent

I left the truck headlights on for almost 2 hours today.

I only noticed it when I took the trash out.

She fired right up.

The $85 I spent on the 1000 amp, 150 min reserve battery paid for itself today.

I need to get a chime for that headlight switch. Im always forgetting to turn them off. Today I was in a hurry, I ordered new pipes for the Harley and they had come in so I had a fever to get them installed.

Battery charged back up, pipes sound great, I just had a ham sandwich.

All is well.

That's almost a haiku. Glad it ended well.

Having a good battery is a must. I love my group 31 batteries in my truck for the reason incase I leave the lights on the batteries still have enough to crank it over.
