I was sure I posted yesterday, but perhaps I never hit 'submit'. Too much? Think I have too much alone time. I could go to dbil/dsisil's any day, but that means mileage and gas. So usually keep it to once or twice a week. At least I now have new tires to go on.
Our adventure Sunday: Went about 3pm to check on the slow leak in one tire. There was a nail at an angle, making it 'unfixable'. But he took us out to show us that wasn't the only issue. DD asked why there was so much grease in the wheel well. Well, that was the first issue -could be from a broken CV joint. Then I slowly remembered that was broken in the front last fall and they replaced it, then at last oil change tires were rotated. Aha! Then he showed me that the tire was completely worn on the inner side and chunks out of the tire. An alignment problem. Did they align it after replacing the CV joint? Wasn't sure (but obviously not as the front wheel was also very messy with grease. Finally decided we would have to get 2 tires (so they matched). At that point another guy came over and said, "Uh, no....4" and proceeded to show us all four tires. Every one was scalped on the inner side and chunks out of each. Ended up with 4 new tires and an alignment (included in the price.) Also have free lifetime fixes of the tires for road debris, etc. That's a good thing because between dd's side road and downtown there are 3 junk yards and someone is forever picking up a nail, screw or piece of metal. Have to say, I'm glad these problems were found and addressed now before I got on 95 to head north. $650 later.
Bank roll wasn't planning on that this spring -but is it ever?
Got up for a potty break at 5:45 and 6:45. Was going to crawl back in as I couldn't even get my eyes open. But one thing led to another and here I am. Only have taken my T-med so have to get on with the rest of my morning routine.
Great 'stepping' out, Kathryn!
