Interesting....
So yester day I had and interesting day. It started out with my just kind of bumming around the house because i had no transportation to get to one of the places that i could have worked for the day. and the weather was slightly overcast for most of the day so I get a call from my mother saying that the guy I was doing some yard for would let me drive to his work place in his truck that was stitting at his house so hopped on my bike that gets excellent mileage, miles per meal i dunno lol so i drove over there and started to work and then the weather system that was coming my way was not looking very friendly with the dark and dreay clouds looming in the not so distant sky I worked on power raking the section of the yard a little more, but doing so in vain the storm clouds were much closer than anticipated and fell upon with with snow and rain relentlessly for 15 minutes i had to alteast get to the side of the building and once i got done i went inside only to find my whole back was soaking wet along with my dirty pants. since my mother works there during the busier times of the year she was there and i talked with her for a little bit then looked out side and there was some small traces of blue sky in the distance.... i was a little miffed seeing as hour i just spent 15-20 min slaving away in the rain and had to get warmed up and then head home because i was soaked but had I gotten there 20 minutes after i did and then start working i would have been fine. so i go home and waiting for a car to get home so i can run to the Wal-mart in smelterville just a 7-10 min drive from home about 7 miles from my house i go there get some things for my mother's birthday and on the way home something happens to the front rigth tire as such that is became flat and no longer driveable on and i had to pull off about 1/2 a mile from the freeway exit to Pinehurst. so i call my dad to have him to come help me because i had a spare tire and a jack but for some reason the thing used to pump up the jack was not it the car so he came with a spare tire and a 4 pronged jack wrench thingy which enabled me to pump up the jack but because it was a 4 pronged one and there was a flat tire it took almost 10-15 minutes just to get the tire up and it had already taken like 25-30 min jsut waiting for my dad to arrive.....probably because he had to dig around and ended up taking the jack thing from out camping trailer. but needless to say i have the car jacked up and i have been there on the side of the road for 45 min and my house is just 4 mine drive away. Have had much experinece in rotating tires the tire was off and the new one on and tightened in under 2 mintues all within the twlight hours of darkness and the with a fullly pumped up tire it was much faster going down than up. so i ended up taking an hour and half for a routinely 20 minute errand. lol it was all good just applied what Elder Worthlin said "Come what may and love it" and it was more enjoyable than it was stressful. =D and onlt 37 more days until May 20th!!!!! =D not that i am counting down the days.....lol
