You and Me ‘Till the Wheels Fall Off (L7)

Great, relaxed weekend in Vernon. The only snag was yesterday as I was driving around in the courtesy car from the autobody shop (yes, my car got crashed again — not serious though) and I heard a “whup whup whup” coming from the rear. Turns out the back tire got a nail in it and went flat. So I limped the car back to my Mom’s place and put on the crappy donut spare tire in the hopes that it would hold for the journey back over the Coquihalla. Incredulously, it held! The drive back was pretty slow anyway since there was a pile of fog and traffic lineups once we hit the old tollbooths.

I did try and hit Canadian Tire this morning to get the nail removed and patched but discovered that the tire was worn down too much to be repaired by a legitimate shop. So my only option was to run the donut spare. I’m pretty impressed that it made it.

So now I have to eat the remainder of a whole pumpkin pie that we made yesterday. Wish me luck!
