This was a busy run around day with little accomplished. I started with a trip to the Credit Union to get a Bank Draft for 15, 757,91 for the Carmax payoff. After this I went to Lowes an dbought 50 feet of 8/2 wire but they did not have 50 feet of metal sheatthing only 25 feet. I then went to Investment Blvd looking for the NAPA store that is supposed to be there but had no luck. I brought the wire home then left for the Carmax store on 70 in Raleigh. Hannah in the finance department was proficient and handled the transfer of the title to Carmax including the notary and payoff of the temporary loan I had to take out in Naples to bring the car home. She is mailing the title, the check and the Corolla keys to Naples via Fedex overnight. There was a Lowes next to Carmax on 70 so I went inside and found the cable in a 50 foot roll. They also had 8 packs of LED light bulbs 60 watt equivalent for $10. That's 1.25 each which is great for 2017. I came home had soup for lunch then went out again to the NAPA store on the traffic circle where Chatham St meets Old Apex Rd. They actually had the Prius 12V battery in stock. The guy said there is a person who rebuilds hybrid batteries in Apex and buys a lot of the 12 volt batteries so they stock them. I brought it home, installed it in Libbie's hatchback without any problems. Watching the YouTube installation video a few days ago was helpful. I then took the old battery back to NAPA for an $18 core rebate. The whole thing was a good deal, less than $200 for the battery bottom line. The previous cheap one i found was for $202 on Amazon. For dinner we made Chicken Parmesan from cooking light. Libbie made a side of spaghetti which we accompanied by a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. I did some diagnosis on the Sirius XM power cable and verified with my meter that 12 volts is not coming out the cable. |
