Carry your supplies!

Ok...tried to get this in last nite but Dale decided to work on electricity problem in basement at 11:00 last night! I had a different day yesterday. I went to Indy to the clothing exchange and everything was great until it was time to leave and I got lost. Then I went onto the wrong wrong road and ran over something in the road because I heard a loud pop and heard air! So I did a U turn...went through the red light and got into Meineke's parking lot before it was completely flat. I asked if they could fix it...nope! It was a slice about 1 and 1/2 inches. Replace only and they did not have one that size in stock. Sears was no help either since I called them and the idiot that sold them to me couldn't find his own butt! Then I remembered I had roadside assistance and they sent someone out to put on the spare. Yes...I tried to change it myself, but the mount piece was rusted onto the rim of the spare and I could not get it loose. The lug nuts were so tight I could not budge them either! So while the roadside assist guy was putting on my spare, the manager at Meineke comes out and syas, " If i had known all you wanted was the spare put on, we could have done that for you for just a small fee."  I was so p.o.'d! The guy working on my tire looked at me..then at him and said, "Nah...we are gonna get this for her so she can get back on the road.....no charge!" I almost laughed out loud!So the manager went back inside. It was covered under my cell phone roadside assistance, but the other guy did not need to know that! I gave the guy a nice tip and was on my way!  Ladies...Chivalry is not dead! He also gave me directions to get my lost butt out of there and I headed straight home. All back roads mind you because you cannot go over 50 (55) on a donut tire and only up to 100 miles. Well it made it 125...I called Dale and kept him updated on where I was at all times in case I broke down. I did not want to be lost in Deliverance when the sun went down and no one be able to find my dead body..since that would have been the cherry on my ckae of a day! So.....I finally made it home and straight into a shower at 8:30 last night! Ladies...I am so glad I keep a couple protein bars in my purse and water bottles in my van! I needed them yesterday.
