Round and Round.....

"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is about a dream!"

That's all I could think of....

I don't know much about rowing, or round. Tires are round. I could write a story about how my round tire got flat, last March, while on my way to go go karting with a group of car people that I met on meetup.com. but i'm not sure how interesting that would be. Also I think I might have already written something about that. Wait! No I didn't!

My car's tire that had been popped.
I drew a smiley face while I was waiting for my parents.

As I was driving down the freeway, nearing the go kart place, I heard a pop and a warning light lit up on my car's dashboard. Not sure if it was anything, but thinking that it might have been my car's tire, I decided to exit the freeway and I pulled into a gas station. When I got out of my car and looked at the right rear, I saw that my car's right rear tire was flat. I called my parents and they helped me put the car's spare tire on and we drove to a NTB that was near our house and I got my tire changed. Where we then drove home, or to Denny's and then we drove home! : )

    Arrgghhh! A tire is one thing you definitely want to stay round! Finding your tire suddenly flat is very stressful... I've had it happen on the way to work in the morning! I'm glad you were close to an exit and that your parents gladly came to your assistance. A stop at Denny's sounds like a perfect story ending to me! :-) Thanks for joining in at TST today... and can we have another round of "Row, row, row your boat" now? We could sing it in rounds! :-))

      Ya, getting a flat tire is not fun if you are on your way to work, or on vacation, which happened to my dad.

      LOL, thanks! : )

    Knock on wood, but I've never had a flat tire while I was driving; glad yours worked out okay! We are members of the auto club just for the convenience of them coming out to change tires if they do go flat. Both hubby and son have used their services for such a reason, as well as others, but thankfully I've been spared the car hassles (probably because I rarely drive, LOL, working at home :)

    I am glad it went well, and that you were not stranded or hurt. I worry about blow outs. You can see a lot of "gators" on the roads, where a truck has had a blow out and left behind the tire pieces. During the holidays, Bill had a tire going flat on his car. Thankfully, he realized it and we had it fixed.

      Ya when I was holding a sign for my parents store next to a busy street, I would sometimes see cars drive by with flat tires, sometimes completely flat and they were practically driving on their rim.... I wanted to tell them, but I couldn't get their attention in time.

      Glad he found out before it was too late! : )

    I think it much more difficult to tell if you have flat these days until you get out the car and notice the difference. Luckily I took my care in for a scheduled service and as I handed over the keys the mechanic looked at the tires and said "You may have a flat here" and he was right. I hadn't noticed any different in the ride.

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Image
Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

White Lies

She smiled through her white lies as she wandered from table to table. Being a waitress was not one of her funnest jobs and she didn't feel like explaining the menu to every single person. "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?" "They are all good!" she would say with a wearied smile. She didn't think that the food was all that good though, except for maybe the hamburger, but even that wasn't all that great either and she wanted to tell the truth, but it was her only job and she didn't want to lose it. Wandering and wandering through the tables day in and day out. Until one day she collapsed and it happened, the pasta fell all over the man in the suits shirt. "I ordered the food to eat it, not wear it!" Said the man in the suit with a sarcastic tone to the waitress. The waitress looked at the man in horror. "I'll..I'll...clean it up" she ...
