Stupid Guest Tricks

Now I almost feel bad for asking for a little Pixie Dust my grandmother's (same one from the appendicitis on Thanksgiving, the only one I have) way. She went to the doctor today and something with her heart made them put her into the hospital for a few days to run a bunch of tests. She's doing fine otherwise. Send most pixie dust to Ralphie and Susi but a little my grandma's way would be nice.


Changing a tire at 7:30 in the morning when I have to be at work is no fun. It's no fun anytime but especially that early in the morning (for me at least) when I should be on my way already. I start backing my van out of the spot this morning and noticed it felt weird on the back driver's side. I stop and look and see that my tire is totally flat. I pull back into my spot, grab my tire tools, call my manager to tell him I'll be late, and started changing the tire. There was a screw stuck in it.

I decided to check the pressure in the idiot tire before putting it on and am glad I did, it was 20 lbs below where it should have been. It is hard work to use a hand pump to pump up an idiot tire from 40 to 60 lbs. Got the tire changed and headed to work. Wound up being only about 20 minutes late.

I work for AutoZone and regularly deliver parts to shops who have accounts with us so I get to know the mechanics. I was talking to one today about my tire and he told me to bring it by later and he'd fix it for free with a better style plug than what we sell and was my original plan to fix the tire. I took it by after work and he fixed it and put it back on the van for me. It is nice to know mechanics pretty well. Saved me about 8 bucks and he did a better job than I could have. I just owe him a Mountain Dew sometime.

Decent concert tho. If I hadnt known it really wasnt Pink Floyd I would have thot it was the original up on stage. Fantastic light show and some neat videos on the screen behind them--tho a few made me rather fuzzy and dizzy from the swirling effects of kaledioscope like designs. I actually drifted off at one point---Hey it is PF music and is relaxing and I was tired. The best entertainment was the "dancing Dude" He was pretty funny and we were taking bets on how long it would be before he fell over the second story railing. Poor security had to keep chasing him down the aisle and telling him to stop twirling and SIT. LOL

I am rambling now cause I am super tired and I have been going thru computer withdrawl
