What a great way to start the day .... a big cow and Rickie's big unit!! So we get off to an early (for us) start ~ 9:00 and get about 25 miles down the road ......... it can't happen two days in a row right? WRONG
so over to the side we go - I call 911 while Rick calls the road service company and we wait, and we wait and we wait (are you getting the picture with this yet?) and we get the car out of the trailer and I go to the closest town - 15 miles away - to see if we can buy a tire and have them put it on the rim from yesterday's blow out ....... well they have a tire for $100 (well that's alright until I double check that it's a goodyear or michelin - NOT) So I go back to my honeys and we wait and we wait and we wait and 3 1/2 hours later........Rick can take the road hazard triangle (thanks Chester) off the road and put it back in the tool box
Well the instrument of torture the man in the picture below has is what I would like to be able to take to that tire at this point!!! But HE got to have all the fun....
and 25 minutes later we are good to go!! Back to the campground (such as it was) that we were at last night (and trust me this was not a great "campground" by any stretch) but right now it looks pretty darned good ...
The man who saved the day today is named Dale. Dale will have
four brand new Goodyears for us tomorrow ready to be mounted and put on the trailer! Aren't we lucky to have Dale 50 miles away! Oh and by the way, it was only 101.8 when I posted this today.
