Happy 66th Brother-in-law Miguel.
I walked the dogs at 4:50am, did my chores, poop-garbage patrol, had a quick nap, the showered and was out the door.
My first stop was at Dollar City where it was nice to browse at my own pace and buy stuff that I am always looking for. When I came out the lot attendant pointed at my right rear tire, which was most definitely flat.... It was only then that I realized this was the reason for the horrendous "clank" that I heard on the highway as I went over small white speed bumps halfway to Tulua. And that happened Sunday the first time, and again today.... So I give credit to my little KIA for having such a stable ride that I did not even feel it otherwise. And, since I back the car in to park now, I don't get to see that side of the car.
I drove it to the KIA deakership in the next block where they added air (no charge) for me to go to a tire shop in the next block.
So, the upshot of this is that the tire stayed below the rim, which survived the onslaught, and quietly died beneath me. I ruined the sidewall and had a big stack of rubber shavings inside the tire. So.... I definitely had to replace the tire, different make than the other 3, but basically the same tire, tread and all. The bill, including balancing etc was 225,000 pesos or only $62 USD. It was worth it just not to have had to change the tire to a spare..!!
Then I did my grocery run at LA14 and was disappointed at the empty shelves... NO Kleenex, potato chips, and lots more. It is a good thing that the vegetables remain in good supply. Surprisingly, I found bacon-wrapped filet mignon for $3.57 a lb. I am now kicking myself that I only bought 2 packages!
I also should have bought some filets for David as I went there next and he transferred some more downloaded movies onto my memory stick. I began a nice rain as I left there and that cooled everything off nicely.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
