big girl pants, boost, charge, cleaning, family, flowers, frustration, fun, geese, hyacinth, widow

fun and frustration today…

spent some time cleaning off the deck and then sitting out reading and listening to music… warm enough to just have on a long shirt and culotte jeans… 

heard and spotted geese flying overhead and managed to catch them on my phone…

my daughter was working but all the boys came over and we headed out to do some shopping… except that my car wouldn’t start… the boys pushed it out of the garage and into the street where my son-in-law boosted it…

we went to the first grocery store and when we came out the car wouldn’t start again… found a fellow leaving his car and got a boost… went to two more stores and we ran in and left my son-in-law in the car to drive around while we shopped… by the third store we all went in and rushed through to be sure the car would work… 

on our way home we went to Canadian Tire and picked up a battery charger…

while supper was cooking, we charged the battery so it should be fine tomorrow…

when we were out I picked up a purple hyacinth and some purple flowers…

the funny thing was that when we arrived home from our vacation the kids’ vehicle wouldn’t start… then, this morning my son-in-law’s car wouldn’t start;-(… but this was the third, so we should be good, lol…

big girl pants, Birchwood Toyota, car, frustration, locked, remote, Shadow, starter

trying to decide if I am just untrainable or whether Shadow is testing me…

  
these don’t look that difficult to work…

unfortunately they are proving very uncooperative for me… frustrating…

I had been back to Birchwood Toyota and someone walked me through the process and advised me how they should work… was told that I could use either one to open the doors… this was after the front door would not open at all the day after I brought her home…

twice today I started the car remotely, and then could not open the doors… only way I could get in was to turn it off, at which point the door locks worked perfectly…

sigh… I called and spoke with the guy at the dealership and he will check with the installers and give me a call back, likely tomorrow…

might have something to do with the valet key which my kids use… 

hoping the problem gets solved soon… starting to feel like a remote starter wasn’t such a great investment…
