The flashlights that you always keep handy. Don't take those out of your trunk... they are there for a reason and should you remove them, that's when you are going to need them.
That handy little tool kit you picked up just for the sole purpose of keeping in your trunk for "just in case"... yeah... it's a good idea to leave it there in the trunk too...
:roll:
Yesterday I took them out and didn't put them back.
Last night in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night... worst possible. place and worse possible time - I needed them.
It's no big deal walking 10 miles into town with a bad knee and having to use a cane.... the weather was nice and the sky was clear... stars and moon were gorgeous. Saw a spectacular shooting star. It was really quite lovely.
Had my Beretta Cougar on my hip so I wasn't worried about the coyotes I could hear following me in the brush off in the distance. I think they were just hoping I dropped a sandwich or something.
Once I got into town and got to a phone, and got a flashlight and a screwdriver and a little wire connector (which I have in my tool kit that was at home where I should have been) it was only a few minutes before my father in law and I had the old Bronco Battle Wagon back up and running like a champ.
Problem was that the Coil needs power in order send a spark through the system to the plugs... a broken wire stopped that from happening. Easy fix. Coulda done it with no problem had I not emptied out the back earlier that day!
Lessons learned the hard way...
