kodak moment lost....



well, I should have taken a picture, but it was too crazy and stressful as it was, but it would have been funny.....

so

Today I was working delivery with Jimmy Johns (yes.... I know, quite an interesting job, but it helps pay for gas and such while I am raising support)... anyway, as I made my first delivery aroudn 11am this morning, my tire sounded funny, and I thought, oh no, this could be bad. so I did what I always do when something is wrong on my car, I called my dad. well, he said his car sounded just like mine did when he needed to get the brake pads changed, so I should take it in, but it would be fine to take in after work got over somewhere around 2 or so.... so, I continued to make deliveries throughout the day and it kept making noises, and made me nervous, so I was a worried wreck all day at work, didn't really feel like talking at all, b/c I was trying to think of how much the bill would be, and how to balance my budget since I need NEED to buy a new computer, since my current one will only let me use it for about 10 min before the screen shuts off. All this going through my head, I made my last delivery of the day, was excited b/c I should be home free in a few minutes and then get my car fixed, and one thing off my mind... well I was turning out of the sub, and all of a sudden my car dips, and I hear a scraping sound, I immediately swerve to the shoulder of the road, and I look and see my tire flying across the road, bouncing around 20 ft in the air going everywhere.... snap... I really would have like to capture that moment on film.... oh well....

anyway so it turns out my tire rotation I got with my oil change the wheel got on cockeyed or something.. the guy said it happens like twice a year, (lucky me) and they are paying for all the costs everything, so not too bad a deal, but it was nuts. thankfully I was not hurt, and my dad was able to drive right over and drive me back into work so I could clock out. All in all, a more exciting day than I would have liked. here's a pic of my car if you wanna see what it looks like... it's a '92 and I seem to keep it running pretty well, so I don't mind it's, as long as it gets me from A to B :-)

Mine is the silver one
