I guess so.. kinda, in a way...I am trying to figure out why my bike is having temper tantrums and won't start. So it was later on in the afternoon before I got around to getting anything done.
Hit one store... my hubby "looks" at battery boxes and says... "None of these are gonna fit." I ask why, and he says... "The boxes are too big." Then and there, I realize I'm on my own.
Go to an auto parts store where the young man looks it up and says he has the battery for my bike... at a whopping $99.99!!! Holy crap! Do I want my bike to run more than I care about $100? Hell yea! So I bought it. Brought it home, and the dang thing is too tall! *sigh*
Took it back to the store where I paid with a check. Now they cannot refund my money BECAUSE I paid with a check, but they can give me store credit. I don't want store credit, I want my money... so low and behold, I have to wait until the check clears the bank and THEN go in and ask for my money to be refunded. *Sigh*
So I head back to the first store, old battery in hand, and sit on the floor and try battery after battery checking sizes and everything else... you know, DH is with me of course, telling me the boxes are too tall or too big, and nothing there will fit.... until I find one.
BACK to the house and ready new battery to be plugged into charger, and am STILL waiting.
What have I learned today? That I can work on vehicles (a little) and will continue to learn, and that my husband irritates the hell out of me when I am on a mission.....
I MAY allow him to live until tomorrow. ... Maybe.
