Car's been sitting in the office parking lot all weekend because when I went to leave Friday night, it wouldn't start. Chris -- Hero of the Revolution -- brought out a new battery since the jumpstart approach didn't work, and spent an hour or so under the hood of my car in the pouring rain. When that didn't work, we bailed and came home, and he went with me over to the mechanic this morning to talk to them about it. At the moment, current working theory is that the timing belt is fine, but the ignition coil might be burned out. =/ They're going to come back and tow it over to the shop to check it out at some point.

Ah well. Nine years with very few mechanical problems in spite of my benign neglect. Guess it's time for things to start going wrong finally.

I did write something about this on Friday, but I went back and made two or three recent posts that talked about financial stuff, even indirectly, private. The reason why is a post all on its own, but that's for later.
