Today's thankful was easy to identify. Let's just say my always-reliable, first car Honda Civic has been troublesome as of late. I've lost track now but I think in the last 2 months, it's died 6 or 7 times. This has become a bit problematic as we never quite know if our trip will be one way or not. We brought the car into the shop on a few different occasions to address the issue but of course they were never able to replicate the problem. Each time I asked if per chance the battery they put in last November might be faulty but was always told it was testing "just fine" (sort of hard to believe when it dies at random...) Anyway, after an exciting Friday night which included a 8 PM run to Graham's work to jump the Honda so he could get home, we brought the car to the shop again. This time, after a little prodding, they finally performed "one last test" and wouldn't you know it, the battery had sulfurized and needed to be replaced. Completely under warranty. Hallelujah! And we are back to having two working cars again. My trusty wheels are still going strong!
