Just got back from loading 4 extremely heavy Rolls Surrette L16 batteries – that have been cluttering up Ian’s yard for the past two years or so – into the jeep.
Tomorrow I’ll use them as cores for my purchase of six new batteries for the Lair – a task which has been put off for over a month due to logistical difficulties. I was very concerned that it was going to be put off yet again, because I couldn’t get the battery store in the big town about 50 miles away to answer its damned phone and confirm that they would be open tomorrow – which I’m told is a holiday – and also had the batteries I want in stock. But they finally did and they will be and they do, so we’re on.
BTW, those nice new gloves were a gift from Generous Reader Terrapod, which I forgot to mention in writing about my little bike mishap. Thanks, T!
