On the drive home I stopped at the Tennessee welcome center. There was a guy holding the door open saying “Mornin’ y’all! Welcome to Tennessee!” over and over. “What the hell is this?” I thought to myself. “Does Tennessee have greeters now? Has the entire state become a Walmart?” Then I realized the guy wasn’t even an employee. No uniform, no name tag, no vest. Just a guy. Sometimes I just don’t understand people.

Stay healthy and safe.

The tire shop called me at 11:45 AM.

“Your car’s ready.”

“Great!”

“You got a bent rim. I’m calling around to see if I can get you a used one so you don’t have to spend $700 on a new one.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t find one.)

“Wait. You put a $300 new tire on a bent rim?”

“Yeah, it’s not bent too bad. I had ’em put some extra sealant on it so the bead should hold. Just be careful if you hit a pothole. It might take an hour before it deflates.”

Way to inspire confidence on the eve of a 400 mile car trip.

Stay healthy and safe.

Today was fun.

Rae and I drove from Lexington to northern Kentucky for a family get together. When we left we got about 5 miles down the road when the car got a flat tire. That’s when I found out that the car I bought (used) back in July doesn’t come with a spare tire. It’s an optional accessory. I have the car towed to a tire shop. My father picks us up and we go back to my parents’ place.

Fortunately my parents have a spare car that we can use to drive back to Lexington. We try to start it only to find out the battery’s dead. We borrow a different car and drive back to Lexington so Rae can drive home tomorrow and I can drive back to northern Kentucky to pick up my car that will hopefully have a new tire by then.

Stay healthy and safe.

Happy Boxing Day. We were supposed to have a family get together on the 24th but the roads and weather were bad so we moved it to today. The roads and weather are still bad so we moved it to tomorrow. It’s been that kind of holiday.

Stay healthy and safe.
