Dead batteries

I was going through my unsorted stack of receipts today, looking for the my warranty documents for my Marin urban bike. It’s time to take it in for adjustments, and while I’m at it I want to take the Timberline mountain bike in for a tune-up. In the process I came across the registration tags for my Subaru.

It looks like I failed to apply the tags. I must have forgotten in the chaos of moving, and as a result I got two “expired tabs” $50 tickets on my car the last 2 weeks.  I decided to take a bike ride up to my magical street parking permit zone in Western Addition to apply the tags. Luckily, no new citations this time around, but not so luckily me the battery was dead. I had left the map lights on the last time I used the car. Good going me!

$45 later, my automo-car was jump started by a friendly SoMA tow truck driver. Yay insurance reimbursements!

I put the car up on cars.com this time around. CL didn’t yield a single hit. I’m priced lower than all the other Subaru’s in a 250 mile area, so I should get *something* soon.
