Woke up, Birds are singing,  decide to drive Stupie to work.  Slow starting but engine caught ,,made it work.  Conked out as I parked so as I drifted into my parking place, I forgot to turn the ignition off.  When work ended,  I'm ready for leasurely commute, but Stupie is dead,  Battery is dead.  not even a click,  and there is only one car left in the parking lot.  So I stalk the owner,   waiting for his exit, before I mug him for some jumper cables.  In Luck,  he has them.  By now     I've been in a hot vw in the hot sun for about 20 minutes.   It takes a long time to get Stupie started and rolling..   I'm getting overheated.  Wife calls,  says "pick up a pizza, sweetie".   Off to Papa's.   I'm not sure Stupie will restart put i'm confident that I can push start since the battery has a little juice now.
Park sideways  on a incline,  get pizza. Stupie no start.  I push car around lot.  jump in.. no start.  around side, no start,  push into a joining Cvs,  no start, I sense that i am becoming enraged and heat exhausted. Open engine hood.  Wiggle wires.  its like therapy. I feel better.   Push vw up hill a little. Last chance.   I have about thirty feet of downhill  to get the beloved Vw  started.  Go GOGO..  push...  jump in.   hit knee in wheel.  running out pavement. rrrrrrrr poot Arggghhh,  I'm ready to kill.  Decide to buy for sale sign, but get a gatorade instead.  Met another potential jumper cable buddy in Cvs..  Score.  We hook up Franken beetle to the electrodes.  Toyota revs engine,  I'm whirling starter.  Pizza makes Stupie smell like something is burning..  Cell phone rings. I'm hot.   Battery terminals are smoking. Crap. I smartly decide to push the battery terminal down.  Argggggg.  Its hot,  My hand blisters.  Stupie starts.  I guess he needed a blood sacrifice. .  Drive home.  Wife asks " Why the frowney face".   SC
