Luck of the Krauts!

Well, I can't help it if I'm not Irish!
Went out to take the box for a quick tire pressure check and top-up, before leaving at 6:00 AM tomorrow. We're heading out for a week to the Texas Hill Country.
Hit the starter and it turned over pretty slowly, then kicked off. I figured it's set for about three weeks and it'll be alright by the time I run the 3 miles to the station.
Checked the pressures and had to top up the right front, got in, hit the starter and it just barely turned over enough to start!
Crap!! Friday evening, we want to head out at 6:00 and the dealer doesn't open until 9:00 on Saturdays.
Just for grins, I went to Discount Auto across the street and low and behold they actually had one of those weird batteries for the 987 and everything we needed to switch them out.
15 minutes and $164.85 and on my way!!

Hoorah for Discount and Kraut-ish luck!

Off toward Texas in the AM!
