I went to start up the GRAND to go and have the smog check and the battery was totally dead. 
I jumped it with cables and let it run for a while. I forgot about the computer re-setting after total dead battery so my smog guy checked it and said it would need more miles before it could be tested.
We talked about the prior emission test and he explained that he didn't believe the testing indicated a bad O2 sensor but a old CAT instead. He went into details as to why he felt this way, which was above my pay scale.
He was willing to test it and if it failed to re-test it one more time for free, but for now it needed more miles before he could even do that.
I'm concerned about the dead battery. We had it one time before get low after the doors were one one evening which shouldn't happen with just the dome lights on. We may have a leak somewhere and should test the battery with all lights off to see if there is a drain.
The tires will arrive tomorrow (Wednesday) in the AM and the lift sometime Thursday before we meet. If not the lift will arrive Friday.
See you then,
Fred
