don't get it, yet

Manuel called. He was at a Canadian Tire store. Said he was looking at a Nautilus battery. $249 regularly. $50 off. "Is it the right battery?" Huh? "400W." He wondered if the Nautilus was the right battery. There were other ones like his old one...

I didn't know the marine boosters were on sale. I had sent him details of a "regular" booster pack, with the recommendation that he not get it, even though discounted. Starfest is a long ways away...

I jumped into the Canadian Tire web site while he quoted facts and figures. "33 amps." I asked him for the model number. He rummaged around, mumbling. "Charge before use." I suggested he look at the shelf tag. It was taking a while. Finally he found it: "oh, 11, 1592, 8." Yep. That's the one.

But I wondered if he might wait. I told him I've seen it on sale for $100 off... That will probably happen in a one or two months. He decided to wait.
