Pony Tales – Part the Sixth
31/5/8
You may recall, Parishioners,
that The White Pony had alternator problems…
Wednesday morning the battery wasn’t *dead* flat –
but it wouldn’t turn the engine over.
Alternator is fucked.
I charged the battery overnight
and TWP got me to work on Thursday & Friday.
I charged the battery overnight
and, after ablutions, coffee & muesli,
TWP got me to Brother T’s
by 08:00 on Saturday morning.
First Things First -
we dropped The White Pony off
with Dave at <plug>Kirrawee Auto Electrics</plug>
then went back & took brother T’s daughter to soccer.
I became a little excited, her team won,
we bought her junk food,
then we went back to service The White Pony.
According to my notes, the last service
was November 2006!
We – and I really mean *we* here!
did the plugs,
decided the air filter was too clean to change,
changed the oil and its complementary filter,
added a charge of engine protector,
changed both fuel filters,
and we would have done the wiper blades as well -
but I bought sixes instead of eights…
We checked the brake pads
and they were fine -
a little fluid tightened them right up!
SO
Little Pony is *purring* (or whatever ponies do)
Yesterday I topped her up,
added a little valve protector,
and Little Pony is *purring* (or whatever ponies do)
Bless you Brother T!
