Pretty much everyday for the past six months Karl “Grandpa” Menzies (more on that later) has told me that things will get better and my streak of bad luck will turn around.  Today, however, definitely was not the start of my good luck.

 I had planned on doing a little shopping after going for an easy ride.  However, when I got back from my ride I noticed that my Jeep had yet another flat tire.  This is the same tire that had previously been fixed by Sears on two different occasions! YEAHHHHHHHH…….SEARS! 

I was going to bring my car back to Sears but figured what is the point.  They will charge me $30 to wait around all afternoon so they can “fix” a tire that will go flat in two days. 

Instead I bought a can of fix-a-flat from the fuel store and fixed the tire myself in five minutes.  On the can it says it is only a temporary solution but not for me.  I am making it a permanent solution!

After that I went to the food store and stepped in some watermelon gum.  At least my shoe smells fruity.

My day actually has not been that bad………that tire fires me up though. 

On a side note I think Hollywood is officially getting old………he does have a birthday coming up on June 17th.    Anyway, he has been blaming it on jet lag but every night for the past week he has been going to bed at 8 PM and getting up at 5 AM.  I thought only the 70 plus crowd did that?  Last night he did not want to rent a movie at Blockbuster because it was 7:30 PM and close to his bedtime!

later,
