I wanted to be on the road by 10:00 this morning... it's 11:30 and I finally got everything done and loaded (I figured I'd rather take my time, make sure I have everything I need and just drive a little later in the day). I was about to hop in the car to pull out when I noticed that my front driver's side tire was flat. REALLY flat.

*headdesk*

There's no way I can change it myself. My shoulders have come a long way... but not THAT far. So, I'm off to Redmond in rackham's car to pick him up and bring him back, since he carpooled in to work today, which will mean another hour delay... then however long it takes to get the tire off and fixed and back on again. I swear, I'm never getting out of here.

dang! I hate it when one more thing and one more thing and one more thing delay leaving!

Good luck getting the tire changed and getting the heck out of dodge!

This is why I totally recommend having AAA. We've used it only a small handful of times, but it's SO comforting to know it's there.

I actually have AAA, sort of. Hyundai's Roadside Assistance program is contracted out to AAA... it's just, with my car still being in the driveway, I figured it would be faster and easier to grab Rackham and have the tire done at Les Schwab (they're rotating the tires for me, too). Plus we got to go out to lunch at the Brown Bag, so it's not all bad!!

AAA is your friend. At least you had options, and I see from your reply to someone else that you do have AAA, which is good, because what if you saw that flat coming out of a rest stop or something.

Oh, man, that truly sucks.

Gah! It's your car's desperate cry for attention! Give it a gallon or two of premium unleaded and it'll probably shut up.

No, seriously, that does suck. But aren't you glad the flat happened before your trip, rather than during? That would have been doubleplus ungood.
