Welcome to August everyone. I hope you remember to dress appropriately! The heat this month will not be a joke.

Happy Saturday all. Got a new 750 CCA battery for the Sienna, with a 5 year (t3 year free replacement) warranty. I am a happy camper.

Morning everyone.

Jim, glad you got it fixed. Did you have them test the system after install?

No. They were swamped with customers because 3 of the 5 techs called off. I ended up installing the battery myself after he told me it would be a 3 hour wait. I just bought a small $20 tool set and did it. I need tools for the Sienna anyway, since I let them keep the old set with the Thunderbird. I am pretty sure it was a bad battery. I did turn off the hoist switch, and we found a interior light that was staying on even while driving. So I turned that off. Should be nothing else draining the battery while off. If there still is an issue, I will just return to Walmart and have them check everything.

Me too. Very inconvenient not having a vehicle. Although, I can use the scooter to get groceries, but it is limited in carry space.

Very true Jim. unless you have a wagon it can be very hard to get the keg from the store to the house using the scooter. LOL

I figured without the van you would have to limit yourself a bit. LOL

Hello Nevada folks! Anyone coming to Reno for Hot August Nights?

Hey Jim, what kind of scooter you have?
