My new airport + car scheme
The problem with flying into Walla Walla from JFK is that the arriving and departing flights that I usually get are either late at night, or early in the morning. And of course once I’m in town, I need a car to get around, and I prefer using my truck.
In the past that would mean I’d have to arrange for someone to pick me up, take me to my truck in storage, take the battery out of the truck, charge the battery overnight, and then have someone take me back out to replace the battery and start it up.
I now rent a mega-size storage unit ¼ mile away from the airport terminal that I can easily walk to. Inside my truck waits for me, connected to a battery tender.
I recently flew back in on the midnight flight, and the plan worked perfectly. However I didn’t have to walk, as I knew someone on the plane, and they gave me a ride. The battery was at 13.1 volts, and a squirt of starting fluid had it turn over in just a few cranks.
