Houston, we have juice!

I was sitting here doing some boring banking when I heard the beloved sound of my Lucy's engine fire up! Vroooom! Unmistakable.

My GF charged the battery this weekend. It was at 69%–enough juice to power the lights, but evidently not enough to fire the starter.

Unfortunately, she still has a flat tire, so I can't drive her yet. I'm debating about whether I should:

1. Remove the flat tire and take it into town for repair, or
2. call a mobile service and have them come over with four new tires and put them all on.

She needs new tires anyway–the current ones are plain car tires, not rated for Lucy's weight. I will be getting proper 8-wall tires. I also need several other important repairs done, so it's really about getting four inflated tires so I can drive her a bit before taking her in, or just biting the bullet and taking her in for a longer list of repairs. Once she's in the shop, they'll probably have her for at least 2-3 weeks. Sigh.
