Sometimes Round is Better than Square
Apr. 20th, 2008 09:49 pmYesterday we had a little adventure on the way to Dallas.
Or check out this view:
A blow-out waiting (not much longer/politely) to happen. Though adrenaline-producing, it was actually a rather mild emergency.
We had a spare, had the tools, there was just one little problem. Whoever modified the truck had blocked access to the spare tire. So some very nice and macho guys at a shop for tires for real trucks drilled a hole with their very nice and macho drill bits.
They helped us in all kinds of ways to change the tire, finishing up with directions to a nearby branch of the store the tire came from where we got a replacement tire of the same grade under warranty. Then we called my parents with an adjusted time of arrival, which was still a perfectly fine time to be arriving.
And we all lived happily every after.
