So tonight, we decided to go for Ice Cream. Susan and I loaded the dogs and off we went to Shediac.
About 10 minutes after we left the house, we could smell something burning. You know the smell, the one that cannot come from your car. It must have been from one of the tourists in front of us.
We got to Shediac, did the up-and-down the main street a few times, had ice cream and headed back home. Since there was not a lot of traffic, I decided to engage the ol' B&M. As usual, the lights dimmed when I turned it on, but this time, they did not seem to come back up to the same intensity as they were before. Oh well, must have been my eyes.
Once we got back home, I turned off the car to take the Beacon off the roof before getting the car in the garage. Got back in the car to start it, and, well, wouldn't start. There was not enough juice to get it turning more than a couple of turn.
Opened the hood to look around, and decided to take the batteries out to recharge them. The problem must be the dirty connections. Put one battery on the charger and cleaned all of the connectors. They now look like new.
And then, just before closing the hood for the night, something caught my eye....
