I am really starting to feel the craziness set in! I am so not a winter person and am seriously sick of this cold weather that you can't do a thing in. The spring weather better not take its sweet ass time getting here this year and we better actually have HOT summer weather this year or I'm moving to Miami! Last summer's weather was tedious but with dealing with this cold the crappy summer weather of 2009 is very welcomed at this point!
So just over a month ago we bought new snow tires for our car (which it was in desperate need of), well Sunday afternoon it was pointed out to us by a friend who stopped by that our left passenger tire was totally flat! We took a look, pumped it full of air and believe me the air was coming out as fast as we were putting it in... well almost! So the boys got the spare tire on and Monday morning we got the flat tire to the place we bought it to see what was going on. It turns out that a nail did the damage and it was so bad that the tire was garbage! Like where do these nails come from? So anyway, we bought a new tire and when we went to put it on the key for the rims was lost! Still don't have a clue where it went, but oh well. My husband had to take the car to the dealership to get all the locks off the rims, new ones put on and a new key or else we weren't getting the new tire put on. Luckily the dealership was kind and didn't charge us for the parts!
I'd just like to ask people out there to please be careful with your nails, some of us can't afford to be putting tires on our cars every month! But seriously, how do the nails get on the road??? Anyone have any thoughts? Anyone???

With all the stuff that people load into pick-up trucks & utility trailers to haul off to the cottage or the dump (when demolishing unwanted stuff in the backyard) you know that not all of it remains where it was loaded in the first place. The stuff that does bounce out is distributed all over the roads & kicked up at random from who knows where! I'm just sorry your new snow tire was the target this time. This is the reason for the car companies charging so much for the new "run flat" tires! Hears hoping you never have debris find a home in your tires again.
