My new car is graveyard dead. Something is draining the battery. I charged it up, fired right off. Next day it wound a little then started. Next day dead. Roadside assistance is sending a wrecker to pick it up and take to Lufkin. Already spoke to service department. I like this warranty, don’t have to take it to them.

Maybe you shouldn't leave the dome light on for the animals as a night light.

If it is just a slow drain... install a kill switch at the battery.
Whenever you park it for more than an hour, open the hood and flip that switch.
We did that to one car that had a slow drain that we just couldn't track down... works a treat. And INEXPENSIVE!!!
Of course, full warranty is better!

I have a kill switch to the battery inside my little ranger 4x4. It would take rewiring the whole truck at this point to find the problem. But that is with an older vehicle. YEP that is what warranties are for.... Sorry it is A problem, glad it is THEIR problem.....
One other neat thing about the kill switch... if anyone should ever try to steal it.... they cannot figure out why it totally will not even crank... so not easy to steal.... I like that totally unexpected "insurance" against it getting stolen. The older vehicles are now in more risk of being stolen because they can be "worked on and parts can be found", and they do not require all this stupid electronic stuff to figure out what is not working.....

Brand new car! Only about a month old! Maybe they should just give you a new one! 
Leaving for Texas tomorrow night. Won't have to keep writing out lists! LOL
Not taking the computer since won't be anywhere long enough to hook it up and do anything.

Remember Tree #1 ?? It came down today. It was so big, the chainsaw over heated 3 times, they had to quit to let the saw cool off. Bennet’s cousin Lee did the sawing honors.
A neighbor, Chase, came for firewood and Bennet loaded him up. He took the logs home and came back to load the truck with branches cut to length. He is supplying firewood to an elderly couple and a widow lady, as well as his own use.
Bennet pushed the tree with his tractor, and to make sure it fell in the right direction. That tree wouldn’t FALL! Chase brought out wedges and beat them in with a single bit axe. Bennet went home for more wedges.
3men and a tractor worked on that tree over an hour. Finally it fell down with a crash.
I served sweet iced tea on the back porch.
Then Robert from Lindale came, with his trailer, bringing my mule to me. Bennet loaded 2 straight, massive logs on the trailer.
Lots of activity this morning!
Everyone was gone by 12:30 and I finished pulling quarter round around the floor. Came home, fed sheep and dogs, heated leftovers and I’m tired.
Got to go make a couple of gallons of sweet tea.

Quite a project. Great that they could get it down. One less future problem.
I'll bet you are tired. That kind of heat will do anyone in. We weren't as hot as they had said, but it is working it's way in this direction. Close to 100 by the weekend. Too hot for here. Possible storms late tonight from the front moving in this direction. Then the heat right behind it.
