Bad Alternator - Stuck at autozone in Bakersfield. SOS

I'm a norcal STI owner on the forums and my friend and I were coming back from Palm Springs in my 04 Civic. Coming down the Grapevine I noticed my lights dimming out and eventually lost all power rolling down the last stretch. Spent the night at a Denny's and got towed to an autozone. Tow from insurance was furthest we can go. I plan on doing the job but don't have my tools with me. It's about one hours work and could use a hand if any locals are available. I'm currently sleeping in the parking lot at AutoZone at 1615 Brundage Lane, Bakersfield, CA. I literally have had 3 hours of sleep in two days.
I'll buy food or beer for the help. If not, I'll have to buy the tools I need and don't trust the scissor jack. Call or text is 916-541-3031. Thanks.

Back on the road now. Replaced the alternator. Autozone had a bunch of tools for me to use.

Glad it worked out for you. I was about to call my cousin in Bakersfield to come help.
