Now here's a nice way to end the old year and start the new! Heather
was coming back from the Pheasant Lane Mall going west on Spit Brook
Road. She stopped at the light just before going under the Route 3
bridge. Her car stalled and she couldn't get it started again.
Julia made the initial call for help to my cell phone, but I didn't
hear the call because I was in the shower at the time. An mp3 of
that call is below. Heather described to me exactly where she was. Now, you need to understand that this past Tuesday, Dec 28th, Heather's battery had run down to the point where the car wouldn't start. I used jumper cables and was able to get her car started and she drove all the way to Hampton Falls area to take Megan back home. Her car also worked fine Wed and Thu when we rode into work together. I assumed that it was battery trouble, but knowing where she was I also knew that I wouldn't be able to put our cars nose to nose. So, I pulled the battery from the minivan and took it with me. That allowed me to carry the battery to her car and use jumper cables to hook it to her battery. Well, that worked fine and she could crank the engine just fine, but the car wouldn't start after multiple attempts. At that point, not knowing what to do more, Heather called AAA and arranged for the car to be towed to Hanson's Automotive Service on West Hollis Street. It took about 50 minutes for the tow truck to arrive. I drove us all to Hansons to meet the tow truck operator there. Hansons was closed because of the holiday. Heather wrote a note and put it in an envelope provided by the AAA employee along with a note explaining what had happened. |
