Apollo 13

i was driving down the street with spencer today in a truck. i looked down and noticed our voltage was dropping. once it fell below the 1/4 mark approaching the red i suggested we turn off the fan. as it continued we realized, we might not make it. we turned off the radio, sorry cyndi lauper. it kept going, past the red, past the peg that wasnt there. when we got off the highway i started to feel that maybe it wasnt fully igniting each teaspoon of fuel. we pulled into the store we were destined for and left it running, you can do it buddy. 5 minutes of shopping, walk out, shes dead. as we sat i thought man im glad we killed the bob seiger, that might have bought us the time we needed to get in park. like astronauts pumping every watt of juice into life support, we were that day.
