I'm starting to know how those "Awaken me when I am needed" characters feel.

Started a new job back in July. Currently, the only shifts available to me start at 6:30AM. I'm 39 and for the past 25 years I've worked afternoons or nights. So I'm very used to not going to bed earlier than 2AM and now my days consist of:

Wake up at 4AM to make it to work by 6:30AM(morning constitutional and shower and breakfast)

Work til 2:14-3:30 depending.

Come home and nap til 7-7:30.

Wake up and cook dinner and wait for The Wife to get home.

Eat dinner and spend time with The Wife and engage in hobbies.

Go to sleep at midnight.

Repeat til day off.

Almost feels like I'm a Dreadnought.from WH40K. Being woken up to serve and then consigned to waiting slumber.

Or, you know. Whatever IP you like better. Point is I'm tired, and I'm going to go nap.

Question for the mechanics of Lemmy; what is the most likely problem?

So for the past ~two weeks I've dealt with the clamp that goes around my negative post had been slipping off of the post. Today before work(seems to be only when you have somewhere to be) I went to crank my car, to hear a single click but no start.

Now, the lights come on, AC goes full blast, and the headlights and radio work. I jumped the battery from my wife's car with no luck.

Based on this, could you give me some ideas/options/advice on how or what to fix/check? I have minimal tools and virtually no mechanical knowledge.

Any and all help is appreciated. Even if it's just a "damn. That sucks."

Video update. Yes I knowy car is dirty.
