The morning arrives and I find myself parked on a nice dead-end street. This dead-end is extra special because not only is it secluded, it is also pitch dark at night, the street lights do not extend to where I am parked. It also has a folksy country view across the street, what else could a van camper wish for?

Today is primarily a day for running errands and catching up on the website. One errand on my list is to get a new battery for the van. The day before, when tanking up and checking the fluids, I noticed the battery indicator was red. A healthy battery normally displays a green indicator. It was probably the original battery, 5 years is about as long as a battery will last.

Installation is pretty easy, just disconnect and reconnect. The only extra hurdle, if you want to call it that, is to make sure the Priority Start! system is reconnected correctly.

Once the battery is in, I swing into The Leaf and Bean Coffee Shop and set to work webmastering the site. That is about all I did for the rest of the day and evening. I hit the hay around 11pm.
