I was sorting LEGO on the sectional sofa and coffee table when my husband called. He was about an hour and a half from home, on our wooded property. His truck battery was dead. His ATV had a flat tire.
I drove out, and we went to the nearest automotive store for a battery and a tire repair kit. We got him moving again.
His mom had a thought.
Before Christmas, she texted me: “Expect a package. Wrap it and put it under the tree for him.” She’d heard about the rescue mission. The package was a HALO Bolt Ultimate 2.0.
She raised him to be prepared. Apparently, she was willing to supply the equipment too.
That was how this ended up on my radar: a dead battery, a flat tire, and a Christmas gift from his mom. I haven’t described a test of the device here. The rescue happened before we had it.
