Flying to Ohio and I charge my phone overnight, duh. Need to leave at 4:30 AM to catch my flight. Grab my phone off the charger heading out the door and it reads 100%. Get to the security check point after a 20 minute ride to the airport, pull out my phone to get my boarding pass and it reads 1% and powers off. Luckily didn’t need boarding pass. Tried to charge it while waiting for the flight and it goes up and down on percentages. Barely any power and huge connection issues trying to contact my ride on arrival. Get to destination, charge phone and no problem for 11 days until the day I leave. Same scenario except my flight didn’t leave until 8:30pm. Phone drained charge and would not charge during the day. Get back and phone charges to 100% and lasts all day off the charger. No problems. Flight info listed in calendar. Any thoughts? Anyone else had this happen?

Wow. Right back at you, bro. I had a CJ-5 that the clutch linkage kept breaking. I remember always keeping a thermal blanket in the seat box in the back along with some warm gloves, and rain jacket. I kept my tool box under the hood. I remember having to crawl under the jeep during a freak blizzard in Virginia Beach to fix the linkage. I nearly froze my hands. I had no idea it got that cold there. That day I saw more accidents from people sliding off the roads. They simply didn't know how to drive in snow. I never did the taped quarter thing like you mentioned, but I remember being short on money at times and running on fumes though. It always worked out in the end.
Cool! CJ-7 for me. I once stalled in the middle of a major intersection during rush hour, in the rain. I used the starter to get out of traffic then limped half a kilometer to Canadian Tire. It would run sporadically, then die. Sometimes hundreds of feet, sometimes 10. When I got to Canadian Tire, it was pouring, so I drove just under the entrance overhang, 10 feet from the door. I spent hours there, diagnosing, buying parts, rediagnosing, buying more parts. EVERY guy that was coming or going felt the need to give his 2 cents worth. It was appreciated at first, but then I found myself spending more time explaining the same thing to more and more people. Store security got annoyed and said I'd have to move. I said I was trying and that I was a repeat customer.
That's a great story. The way you started out it sounded like an episode short of The World of Commander McBragg and his incredible adventures like this one called, "Lost Valley".
Thanks. I'd never heard of Commander McBragg. Looks a lot like Mr. Magoo. Maybe the same actor.
Did you watch Lost Valley? It's less than 2-minutes long. I recall a Commander McBragg episode where he found himself "surrounded by a thousand hostile Hottentots". Just as they were going to grab him, he used his elephant gun as a pogo-stick and shot his way out from amongst them and saved himself. Those episode shorts always made me laugh. They still do.
