As I was taking pictures of the Frontenac, this guy passed by.
I think he was in front of the Ren Cen doing a firehouse salute for the Grand Prix yesterday.This is Detroit's other fireboat. It is named after Sivad Johnson who was a firefighter that died trying to save two girls from drowning in 2020.
The boat was named after him on August 31, 2020.
It is a cool looking boat.
I was going to head up to Grayling again to get more pictures of the Kirtland warblers but my car decided not to cooperate after this. I stopped at a McDonald's in Auburn for a bathroom break because I was going to drop off a drawing for my mother after that. She turned off the car while I was in the McDonald's. When I got back in the car, it wouldn't turn over.
I called a tow truck and got a jump. So I headed over to an Advance Auto Parts nearby to get the battery checked. The battery was dead. I asked if they could change it, they couldn't because the battery on the Focus is tucked under the cowling. Then I headed to an O'Reilly's nearby and got the same answer. I was able to make it back to Ypsilanti.
This morning, I got another jump to get to the repair place. My car wouldn't go into drive. The tow truck driver and I looked it over and I said I would turn it off and try to start it again but I would need a jump. He jumped it and it worked. I figure it was something with the sudden no power messing with the computer and the second jump reset it.
Anyway, I got the battery fixed and the car seems fine now.
