Bad connection right there, Jerry. Get one of these :

(should be available wherever car parts & tools are sold) and brush both the
clamp and the battery post until they are bright. Also check that the ears
of the clamp are not touching, and that the clamp goes down on the post
until the end of the post sticks out of the top slightly. This is probably
also a good time to remove the bolt & nut and clean up the threads (or
replace them). Smear some Vaseline on the bolt and on the mating surfaces
of the clamp & post before reassembling.
