Why me?

   / Why me? #13  
'She' drove it down one of the 'avenues' (horse owners don't have lanes or tracks) with the float attached, she went back later to take it out but cannot reverse anything with a trailer, I'm guessing she turned on the ignition then realised this was going to end badly so just left it for me to reverse out a week later.
Needless to say the 6 month old battery is absolutely cactus and a new one is about $300.00.
So, I am in it again/still, just the depth varies.

Yeah, totally, it's your fault. You should own better equipment. :) Now is your chance to put a solar roof on your Ute so it will never run down.

I'm a smile sweetly and "Yes dear" kind of guy. It pays dividends for me. I'm sure that she knows that she owes you double. One for toasting the battery, and two for not having managed to turn the Ute and float around in the first place.

The toasted battery might be a good excuse for a fancy charger. Just saying...

Sorry about the grief and the absolutely cactus battery. Personally, I hate losing batteries.

All the best,

Peter

Could be worse. She could have realized the battery dead and put charger on it, BACKWARDS.

Battery completely dead will take reverse polarity charge.

Could you re write that so we can read it?

Your doomed. Plead guilty and move on because it's futile to plead your case. The more you drag this out you will be sleeping out with the horses.

Good advice from Homer.

These days I cannot win a discussion if my life depended on it. Early in our relationship it was more even, but as time went on if winning is who gets the last word, I win less and less to the point of no return. I just will not talk as much or as long and I guess and my logic does not count. On the good side, she could care less on what I spend on tractor equipment and I make all money decisions.

Win the war, not every battle.

One question from a lady friend I could never find a pleasing answer to: "What are thinking about?" Uh oh.
I look back now and believe it was a clue from her saying "I'm bored, I think I'll pick a fight."
