Well, turns out the Prius only had a dead battery. Completely drained. Apparently the dome light got left on all night long. John thinks it might have happened the other night when he needed to check a paper in the car. It was so cold out that he got in and out fast and thinks that would have been when it happened.
Pixie says “Really? Who let you own a car?”
The Toyota people were very nice and didn’t charge us anything to fix it, which they probably could have since it was user error. I have to say that I actually am really glad that was the problem. Better than it actually being an electrical problem with a new car, right?
Since we were down in Saratoga, John took his football dinner down there at Hattie’s. We play fantasy football during playoffs since the picking the winners doesn’t work with only a few games. I cleaned up during the regular season, but John is kicking my butt in the postseason.
I had a chicken sandwich and a cup of jambalaya soup for dinner!
This was really good. They do chicken right at Hattie’s!
We actually are going to get a warm up to 25 degrees tomorrow. Too bad it isn’t going to last.
Whew, that’s a relief about the Prius! Have a good weekend – stay warm!
Glad the Prius was a simple fix!!! Funny that Pixie was a bit judgmental about the car issue!!!
Pixie puts her bitch pants on sometimes 😀
Ah…nice cat pic! And, we loved our Prius.
Oh my oh my. I’m getting colder just reading about your cold. So glad it was an easy fix on the car!
You can remodel a whole house but you’re not handy with a car?!? (I’m just kidding) 🙂
Yeah – have to leave some things to the professionals LOL!
Oh my goodness I know you were torn between complete aggravation that you didn’t think of that and complete joy that is all it was. How nice of the dealership to fix it for free! We’re up to 37!!!!! However, there is a wind out there that sounds like a freight train today. The snow hasn’t materialized yet. Fingers crossed it’s staying away!
HI PIXIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad it was only the battery & no charge too – score!!!! 🙂
So glad the Prius problem was a simple one! I’ve done the dome light thing before,too, as well as not getting the door shut properly. So annoying.
That’s good news it was only a battery in the car. Easy to fix and nice service that they didn’t charge anything.
That dinner looks delicious!
Yes I appreciate Toyota’s free battery charge and check-up but still wondering why a modern car (with a computer on board, that turns off your headlights for you and adjusts front airbags according to occupants’ weight) can’t simply turn off the dome light if it’s been on for a while (and allows you to turn it back on if you really need it that long). Japan/Detroit — anyone listening?
