Downhill..

Today started out quite upbeat. The quilting group had a good time last night.. lots of food, laughs, gift exchange, toilet paper roll crafting  etc. Everything was put away this morning and somethings were made ready for Christmas...

This afternoon I had a hair appointment.... downtown Kansas City. Bob came along to keep me company on the drive to and from. We managed the road construction  with out too much of a hassle.

 Mark ( my "hair guy" ) and I had lots of catching up to do as he snipped away. He was to head out to the airport after my appointment  to fly off to Florida for a long weekend. The haircut was good.. Bob even commented and complimented Mark.

Took a different route back home hoping to avoid the construction only to find more, necessitating a detour. Then there was rock in the roadway!! Bob hit it... lots of noise... alerts from the car telling us tire pressure was down to "zip".

Made it to a gas station where we parked and Bob checked things out. Tire was flat as a pancake and probably not repairable.

Long drawn out conversation with AAA.... tow truck on its way... While we waited Bob called our local Good Year place and told them we were headed their way and told them the tire size...

Car was pulled up onto the two track's bed... I climbed into the truck and with the driver on one side and Bob on the other... off we went. Of course by then it was rush hour...lots of traffic... even a stalled truck...

But we made it to the Good Year place.. unloaded the car from the tow truck... arranged for the tire to be replaced and waited for a lift home ( younger daughter to the rescue!)

Tomorrow we wait... car-less... hopefully someone will give us a left when the car is "fixed"!!  By the way this car doesn't have a spare... not even a do-nut.
