On the Road Again!

The blogger app gave up the ghost on the original post only about half way through. After the clunk. I left Pepé in the watery sun on the drive. In the house I called the RAC. Only an hour to wait. Okay. I'll still be able to get down to Dungeness and meet Cal and Ian and see the old bikes.  I let them know by sms. It wasn't 10am yet.  Cal offers to come and bring the jump pack he has in a pannier. I say I can wait for the RAC and not mess their day up. Doh! The RAC call back. Update. About Noon they say. Bugger. Day ruined. I go online to look at power packs that I can carry with me in the pannier. A  note on the Rocket III FB asking for tips boils down to the dbpower 600A portable pack. £69.99 from Amazon Prime.  Tomorrow should be okay for delivery. Fingers crossed. Oh yeah  RAC call back with an update "more like 1pm". I say okay, but then call back and cancel. No point at that time of day. Db power 600A  Update November 7th 2017 The unit was deliver...

This is the third autumn since I brought Pepé home. But the first since he has begun to be a little temperamental. We are just at the beginning of a cold snap and today. Press the starter. Whirr. Clunk. I was supposed to be going to a classic bike run. So had to cancel that. Let the other Meldrews know and called the RAC. "About an hour". An hour later an update. "About 1230". Some two hours to wait. If tbis is liable to happen I need to invest in a battery jump tool. Neither of the cars can do it as thru have sealed battery covers. So let's wait.
