Is battery bad; every morning takes 3 clicks before it starts? Seems every thing is off - occasionally needs a jump to go!

I would suspect a weak battery, yes. May want to check out the battery cables first though. Ensure they are clean and tightened properly. You can have the battery tested at most part stores for free of charge.

As Blue indicated, most autoparts stores will test free, but have the alt. checked also.
