We're home. Well, we got home about 5:30pm just in time for the snow to start falling so hard I couldn't see. I have three inches on my driveway. I stuck my middle finger in it and my finger was covered! lmao

Anyway, the battery is not the probem in the car, nor the alternator or anything in the Chevy. It's out mobility stuff that was installed separately. Great. Now I have to go Thursday in the bitter cold to have that looked at. They assured me they can fix it in a day. We'll see. If not I hope they will be giving me a loaner to get home. Jim will stay here nice and toasty. I would never ever drag him out in that kind of cold. Whatever the problem is it's pulling 1/2 amp out of my battery so fast it drains. The mechanic said a normal pull is under 20 microamps (or something like that). Ours is pulling over 500!!
