Mr. & Mrs. Fix It

Our car broke down...again. We had it towed into the shop to figure out what was wrong. The alternator is broken and we needed a new battery (b/c jumping it five times apparently takes out all the juice!) They said it was going to cost us about $600 to fix. We decided to tow it home and try to fix it ourselves. *Just to clarify, by fix it ourselves I really mean call my brother Jacob and watch him fix it. We are helpful in buying the parts, making pointless comments, and providing the appropriate tools at just the right moments. So today I was out "helping" they guys fix the car and I don't think it is going to be as easy as we thought. Imagine that! At least my brother seems to know what he is doing.
