My afternoon...

When you get out of the car and you hear a hissing noise, it is probably not a good sign. When we got home from school today, I opened the door to hear a hiss... not a snake hiss... more like tire losing air hiss. I felt around and found that my tire was losing air. This is what it looked like 5 min later. I called Rt and he told me to get the bars from under the seat and roll my tire down... um, yeah honey.


These are the bars...

This is the hole...


This is how the bars go together....



And if you turn them counterclockwise...this is what comes down from the bottom of the car...

Now, how in the world would I have figured that out stranded on the side of the road??? The same way I did today... on the phone with my husband! I wish there was a way to record the conversation... put the pole with the square end in the round hole... you should feel a cone, slide the pole into the cone... the square will lock into the bottom of the cone... turn the poles counterclockwise and the tire will come down! I got that far and then I took a look at the very tiny jack and felt the 30 mph winds and said, "Honey, will you please come change this?"

Hope your day was better!

And you had your camera with you to document it! I've been bringing mine along lately too.

I thought you'd quit blogging, because everytime I clicked on your link in the comments, it came up as a 404. What's the deal chica?
