    <content type="html">We went back down to the storage place on Sunday, fully prepared for a battle with the battery and the stuck door. Well, the Beowulf surrendered. A jot of WD-40 loosened the lock enough that the door enough that we could open it. We had brought along our stepladder so I could take some pictures of the water damage to the roof of the trailer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://kshandra.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://kshandra.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;kshandra&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; was going to work on the Marine battery. Turns out to have been much easier to undo the leads from the terminals that we had anticipated. Then came moving the battery into Darby's bed. Now this battery is &lt;b&gt;heavy&lt;/b&gt;. In fact, its weight grew in the telling throughout the day. It probably weighs 75-80lbs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hurried to the truck cab to get my work gloves to held lift the battery, when there's a resounding &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;THUD&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Kirsten has already moved the battery. My wife is mighty! After that, there was just a little clean-up to do before we headed back north to do our weekly shopping. Once at home, the battery was moved to just inside the door, and I kicked back to follow the 49ers game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Free Trailer Beowulf has been listed for a fast sale to a local Burning Man group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=gridlore&amp;ditemid=2053243" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
