I've mentioned before that I've had a problem with my car starting on damp, rainy days. Also, that there's been some problem with my Blood Work (partly because I couldn't get there because of the car). A couple of weeks ago I decided to be proactive. I went down to RWJ for a follow-up test then dropped off the car at my mechanics. Rain was predicted for that night and the next day so I was hopeful that he'd be able to finally identify the problem.
It poured.
He called around 4 to say that the car started without a problem. I got a call around 5 from my Cardiologist's. My numbers are back to normal.
I can't explain why these things happened but I'm glad they did.

I've been out, driving around, ever since then. I spent so many days in my Apartment because the car wouldn't start that I feel obligated to get out there every day.
Saturday, there was a Merchant's Fair scheduled for 11:00 AM on Main Street which is very close to where I live. When they have these events, the parking around my block becomes difficult. I was out early and started at Dunkin' Donuts.
As I passed the blue car in the Handicapped spot I noticed that he didn't have plates or a hanger. There were several people ahead of me on the line and a few others eating at the tables. I picked up my order and left. That car was still there.
I drove around the Parking Lot and slowed beside it.
Point, press, Flash.
He's gonna have to call for a tow and, hopefully, get a ticket at the same time.
I picked up some food for lunch/supper, got a good spot by my place, and - actually - walked up to check out the Fair (and meet up with my girls).
Sunday was sunny and a bit warmer. I slept in a bit longer then usual and headed out about 8:30. I hit the Dunkin' Donuts in Avenel and then took New Brunswick Avenue up to Iselin. I came up behind this guy.
He was minding his own business and I decided to, also.
I stopped at Foodtown and picked up some Spare Ribs. I decided to head towards the Target in Edison. I didn't need anything but I was enjoying the drive.
I made the left onto Grove and saw this person up ahead.
There was no one around.
Point, press, Flash.
I continued on Grove then turned onto James Street. This becomes Parsinage Road on the other side of Route 27 and leads up to Target. I browsed around for a while but didn't get anything. I headed home.
I wound up on Thornall Road that leads to a Business Complex and the Metro Park Train Station. That's where I saw this guy.
It looked like he was headed to work. Since it was a Sunday, I left him alone and headed home.
Today is another dreary, rainy day. I was tempted to stay home but I worry that, if I do, the car won't start tomorrow. I went out around 8.
I took Rahway to Freeman, heading towards Amboy. That's where I saw this guy.
It was not a great day to be walking around and I drove by.
The rain got heavy at times so there weren't too many people walking around. I was out for about 2 hours and got home a little after 10.
I had some French Onion Soup for Lunch.
Just a couple of normal days in May.
