I thought it would be fun to do a guestbook for those who come and visit my little corner of the world. It would be fun to hear from you, would you sign my guestbook? ~Shyloh~

Flat tire...(s?)

I finally have a good story to blog...









A few days ago Jeff was driving my car, and noticed that it was "bumping" a little bit. He asked me if that was normal, and I said, "yea, I think so." The next morning my dad was out in the front yard and noticed I had a flat tire. I was like, "OK, that explains things." He aired it up and said, "Let me know if it goes flat again." The next day it was flat again. My dad went out and inspected it, and came back in and says, "Oh, you have a screw in your tire. It needs fixed." So today, my dad told Jeff to take me down to the tire store to get it fixed. I have a warranty with Big O's tires, so they repair and maintain my tires for free. (Thank Goodness!) We dropped the car off, told them what was wrong and also asked them to rotate them. Then we walked over to Starbucks and had a coffee while we waited. Thirty minutes later we walked back. The guy came into the shop, with a strange look on his face, and something in his hands. He started telling us that I need new shocks and new something something majiggers (I don't know what it was again...but my car is perfectly fine, and I don't really need any of those things.) So he talked for several minutes and then said, "We rotated your tires, and did this and this and this...blah blah blah." Then he said, "I've never seen this before...you had one screw in the same place in every tire." He opened his hand, and in his palm was four screws. None of them were bent, and I immediately knew...brothers. The guy said, "This looks like vandalism. There's no way you ran over the same screws in the same spot four times without bending any of them. It looks like they were set under the tires." Jeff and I were just smirking. Jeff says, "Yea, that's vandalism." I came home, held my hand out and asked a specific brother (no names mentioned) "Do you want to tell me something?" The guilt on his face answered my question. I'm not mad, in fact I'm still chuckling. What was he thinking!! Thank Goodness it was free! Brothers add so much color to life!
