The full story of trip to L.I.F.T. competition.

So my wife and I are driving on the Long Island Express way to the Long Island Field Target competition. After an hour of travel, my wife asks “can we exit so I can go to the bathroom?” Since we left early enough I said sure. I look up the nearest gas station on the TOMTOM GPS, and it says the next exit has one. So we exit there. We get to the gas station, do what we had to do. Get back in the car, and try to start it. Nothing happens! No clicks no whine nothing.

So longer story short. We opted not to have the car towed back to CT. From Long Island($400.00+)
The teller at the gas/service told us that the mechanic was comming in anyway to work on his own car and would look at our car.
We took a taxi the rest of the way.($85.00)
We got to the competition in time for me to sight in.
While at the range we got good news that the car is fine now. and that the alarm system some how cut power to the battery. all he had to do is flick a switch that we did not know about.
I hit 36 out of 48 targets.
got a ride from a new friend Henry back to our car.
My wife and I only had to pay(happily) $50.00 to the Mechanic.
and made it back home.
So all in all not really a bad day.
