It's 12:30am, I decide to go down to the gas station a couple of blocks away, and grab a soda as I often do. As I pull into the gas station entrance, I see two guys trying to push a broken down ford focus up the incline of the parking lot. Being the charitable guy I am, I quickly park my car, run over to the back bumper and help them push it up into the parking spot. I noticed immediately that I knew the guy next to me, It was Eric, my old friend from a job I used to have eight years ago. It was his wife's car that would not start after they finished filling up with gas. Figuring that it was the battery, I told Eric I would run back home and grab my multimeter, and some sockets so I could figure out what was going on. I get back, tested the voltage on the battery which looked fine, (12.5v) but when Eric turned the key to start it, The voltage dropped to about six volts. (it was a bad cell) Jumping the car wouldn't work, so I took off the positive cable end, and put the jumper cable directly on the cable. It started right up! With the jumper still on the cable, I slid it back onto the battery. Luckily, it kept running after I removed the jumper. Eric was very happy! He told me his wife had a baby only a week ago, and because of all the hospital bills, they were going to be very low on cash, and It would have been very hard for them to afford a towing bill.

It's funny how we come across old friends we haven't seen in years, and sometimes in the strangest situations. Thank god for Eric I was feeling thirsty!!!

For sure bro... I'll keep an eye out for ya. Btw hope everything works out for your buddy.

 

Yeah, It sounds like Eric is gonna be just fine. You just can't help but feel for a new family trying to survive with what little money they have. I'm not married, and I don't have any kids, but I'm sure it can really drain a guys wallet when they're just getting started with a family.
