Suffice to say, there will be no more cryptic comments about DD2's driving mishaps after the little stunt I pulled Saturday afternoon. Â As I was approaching the gate to my complex, I reached down to hit the clicker on my key chain to open the gate. Â Took my eyes off the road just for a second, well, okay...maybe two or three...All right! Â All right! Â it might have been four...and slammed into the curb. Â The tire blew instantly, bending the rim on the inner side but not the outer. Â Curses!!!Â
If that were not bad enough, that miserable little piece of cheap crap that car makers laughingly call a "spare "was dangerously low on air because it hadn't been used in 'dark thirty' months.
But my dear SIL slapped it on there, and I bumbed along to Discount Tires this morning to find out just how much my little episode was going to set me back. Â I actually felt fairly fortunate that it was not worse. Â Had no idea how much the new wheel was going to cost. Â It, however, was quite a bit cheaper than the tire, as I like Michelins, and that's what the other tires are.
Well, I'm off to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. After all this, I definitely need some drugs!! Here's hoping that trip is less eventful.
To the Christians, God bless; to the Buddhists, Hail Buddha (or whatever the heck you say); to the Athiests, just remember what the old athiest said to his friend as he lay dying while reading the Bible. When his friend asked why he, an athiest, was reading the Bible, he replied, Â "I'm looking for loopholes!"
However, as my good friend Fredo, loves to say, Â "What do I know?"Â
