When you’re a one-vehicle family and do your own vehicle maintenance, you gotta have a plan. And a bicycle. And bungee cords. Today’s lunch break was a quick trip to O’reilly to pick up a starter for UPGRAYEDD…then a sprint back home for the next meeting.

We’d originally planned on just swapping it out at a rest stop during this weekend’s relocation (no maintenance in the RV park!) to Las Cruces, but the solenoid had gotten worse this morning, so, had Champs Auto in Goodyear work in the replacement last-minute for us.
