My OperaBad luck with tires
Friday, May 5, 2006 6:05:08 PM
Let me start my story last Monday when I was out golfing. After the round I was informed that my right front tire was flat, luckily Moose had his little compressor and I was able to get home. I'd been checking on the tire and it didn't seem to be leaking too badly so I left it until yesterday when the pressure was just above 20psi, so I figured I should get this checked out before I drive an hour to Listowel each day starting Monday. Well I took it in and left my car and later found out that the hole was too close to the sidewall and thus could not be repaired so I had to get a new tire, luckily the tire they had was close enough to the one already on there so I didn't have to get two new front tires. Then today I went on a bike ride and about 20-25 mins into the ride, we were in the woods and I heard a "pop" and a "wisssss....wissss.....wissss". So I stopped and sure enough my back tire was completely flat, I had run over a wood chip that had stuck into my tire and created quite the hole. The most fun of that was walking back to my place, which of course took an hour. So hopefully I have had my fill of bad luck with tires for a little while.
Not much else, I start my externship on Monday and it's kinda scary that I actually have to know something but at least I'll get lots of hands on experience which is definetly what I am missing at the moment. It should be a good time. My room is finally all unpacked and I am happy with it for now so I'm not gonna touch anything until at least July when I have time to rearrange. I'm also sore from the gym the past couple of days so I'll take a few days off from working out and maybe get back to it on Sunday before I get to see my cousin's new baby!!! Oh and just so you all know, MI3 came out today and not yesterday, as Kate and I found out when we showed up at the theatre last night and discovered it wasn't playing, yup these are the same people who are responsible for making life and death decisions and they can't even figure out when a movie is playing (pretty scary
).
