Waiting for the yard at my daughter's to dry a little more so I can drive my car up to my truck.

Went to bring it home after a month there. We leveled driveway pavers where I park it at my place and got garage floor finished, and while state was fixing road for 3 weeks raising fucking dust every day. So it sat for a month with that electronic shit draining the battery, I guess.

Battery now dead, won't crank.

So you hook up cables to good battery and only positive to dead battery and put negative cable on metal somewhere for a ground, right?

I haven't had to jump a car since the '90's.
Don't want to blow anything up.

Yep, and if you do that again they have solar panels you can plug into a cigarette lighter to keep it charged.

Those things are great. A short developed in my truck and if it wasn't run for a couple days the battery died, it was winter and I just wasn't up the the electrical snipe hunt. I bought one of the solar panel trickle chargers and it got me through the winter. A damned mouse had caused the short

We don't use our farm trucks too often so I have small panels stuck to the hoods. Winter here will ruin a battery quick, solar has kept them going.

What's the official name for those solar panels? Solar panels for cars/trucks?

Autoparts stores stock something like that?

Lol, I actually don't mind the JWs. Theyre nice and don't stay long. I use the Watchtower to start fires though.
I had a buddy at work who was a preacher on the side. Not ordained, I don't think, but he preaches every Sunday somewhere.

He told me a phrase once that supposedly will drive JWs away like holding a cross to a vampire in the movies. Something about the blood of Jesus but I forget the exact phrase. I'll have to text him.

I always get these good looking girl JWs so I tend to allow them to walk up and check them out before I turn them away and not accept their pamphlets. Lol.
