A couple of days ago we had the tires on our car replaced. The day after we picked up the car, I was pulling up to a stop light and a tire went completely flat. I limped the car a few yards to get out of the driving lanes. Luckily we'd just been to the library so the kids flipped through a few books and watched an educational DVD while we waited for a family member to come and rescue me and the kids.
Who knew that almost 2 years after selling our house on a mountain that the mountain would come back to bite us. We took the car back to the mechanic and apparently the gravel roads where we used to live were to blame. The tire could not properly sit on the rim because of the grit and grime that had worn down the rim of the tire. Hopefully the trick he tried today will hold up and we will not have any more leaking problems.
All I know is that this is just more proof that getting off the mountain was a good idea. Strike that... a GREAT idea!
Best thing I ever did... ;)
