at least it isn't the same tire as last time

dammit this is gammal's car tho so my insurance won't cover it to be towed... gotta call dad and gripe at him for dragging his feet over putting me as a driver for her car

thankfully one of the neighbors was able to help me put the donut on

unfortunately this can't be patched

neighbor cody says it was likely due to not being in alignment

Oh no, what a pain!

oh well at least i can now drive myself down to the tire place that patched the last problem

bonus is i don't have to carefully avoid mentioning driving on the tire this time to get them willing to patch it!

tho i'm sure they knew from the shavings inside.... but it hadn't been bad enough for them to call me out.........

finally home again

they had to swap out two tires because i asked them to check the others

they also said it wasn't an alignment problem, just age and dry rot

that got me thinking, because i've so far replaced new the back left tire, patched the back right

now both front tires are replaced used

and meanwhile dad is telling me what specific car oil to tell walmart to use so i can go 15-20k miles before my next oil change...... i am Not doing that sir

nolno: test

test?

someone was asking if we could @ people on mobile android and i knew you wouldn't mind the investigation process

ah ha!

I got the email about it and everything.
