09:26 Bucket Today's episode is Bucket's Adventures With A Car That Needs To Be Jump Started

09:26 Bucket I left my lights on for about 5 hours yesterday...

09:26 Bucket I didn't realize it until a neighbor came to my door and told me.

09:27 Bucket I figure it's not that bad...

09:27 Bucket Then I try turning the car on this morning. Almost dead. Luckily, there's a neighbor! We try and fail.

09:27 Bucket In the back of my mind though something is nagging at me that he's doing something wrong. AND HE WAS.

09:27 Bucket so I'm hoping the car is OK.

09:27 Raihosha What did he do wrong?

09:28 Bucket he had his car still running for one.

09:28 Raihosha No, that's right.

09:28 Bucket and he connected the cable directly to the battery terminals. (I just looked up a how to and I was right; you need to connect black to bare metal

09:28 Raihosha BLack to bare metal you're right there.

09:28 Bucket yep

09:29 Bucket my car's completely drained now

09:29 Bucket although with the terminals connected to each other I had power for the accessories

09:29 Raihosha Did you get your car started?

09:29 Bucket nope

09:30 Bucket my friend's coming over

09:30 Bucket we're going to try with his

09:30 Raihosha Are you a AAA member?

09:31 Bucket I was >_<

09:31 Bucket I may rejoin

09:31 Bucket he is though

09:31 Raihosha Ah. They send a truck over, and you can definatly get jumped with one of them...at least around here.

09:32 Raihosha But once you get started you're going to want to drive around for a few hours to charge you're battery.

09:32 Raihosha err... ^your

09:34 Raihosha But the how-to probably covered that.

09:35 Bucket yeah, I'm headed out for groceries

09:36 Raihosha Well try to drive around at least 20 minutes before you turn off the car.

09:37 Raihosha I say tis, only because I live 5 minutes from a grocery store...

09:44 Bucket maybe I'll go to a different one then ^^

09:45 Raihosha Or do a mini road trip with your friend and stop for groceries on the way back?

09:47 Bucket ah, he's here
