screws

Well.. last night my low tire preasure light came on again! AHH! Last time this happened I was on my way to Tanglewood Park to do an event for work. I did stop before I got there to check and did not see anything wrong so proceeded. Well if not but 2 months later here comes the light again. I was on my way to night workout at the gym and called Daniel to tell him I might not be there. I stopped at Val's and she helped me try to find the problem. We both couldnt so I proceeded to the gym. I got home and checked again. Still I couldnt tell much of a difference at all. I was really hoping that I would not wake up and just have a totally flat tire.
Score! I woke up and it was still very much drivable. BUT, I could tell that something was wrong and checked the different stores as to when they opened. I did not want to miss my morning workout since it has been going so well lately. So I decided on the shop that is just across the road. I dropped off everything at the gym, stayed for 15 minutes then drove the car over to get fixed and then walked back to finish the workout and get ready for work. I got the call that I really didnt want. My tire could not be patched. It had to be replaced! AHH! The screw was on the side of the tire much like the time when I was in Myrtle beach a few years ago and the same thing happened there. So I had to decided while at the gym on what to do. I hate making expensive decisions without Daniel because sometimes he has a better resource but after doing some quick thinking, I chose just to get it taken care of today. There are my reasons.... it wouldnt take too long, the cost was not too terrible, if I waited I would have to get it done Monday morning sometime and there is no guarentee that would have happened, and lastly, we are headed to the beach and Im not going with the backup tire on.
So as I was getting ready to get going, I had a lightbulb moment.. I believed I had a coupon in my car for Goodyear. And I DID!! I really felt like I was drawn to goodyear and since I went there I was able to use the coupon. Way to not second guess!
So now I have one brand new tire with lifetime balancing. :)
