Good Afternoon Peeps!
Lemme tell you about my wonderful week!
Monday night, it's my "Friday" and I'm about to leave work. So I hop in my car, start it up and my TPMS is on. Of course, I look at the tires, but can't find anything. Dozens of employees at my resort, and NO ONE has a tire gauge.
No problem. There's a gas station down the road. My back right tire is low. I filler up, call my roommate, and have him meet me (1 in the morning) at my tire shop. No, I don't carry around a spare.
Finally I find the culprit.

Next morning I come back, they tell me that they'll try repairing it, but because my tires are so bald, this would be the last time.
SYKE!
They're past the tread bars so they won't do it, but they do have used goodyears for only $70 a piece. Sweet.
SYKE!
There's a huge gash in the side of one of them. So $500 later, I have a brand new pair of Falkens on there. Not bad, just wish I coulda held off on this a little longer since right now is a really bad time to spend money for Shawn. :P
Meanwhile, last night I lost $100 on slots, booze, tips, and covers. But what else am I gonna do on my day off. Sleep?
How's everyone else's week going?

Damnit!
I forgot about that card. Yea, it's for the same shop, too. Discount Tire.
Well they were $220 a piece (tires themselves). But I needed them asap. If they woulda ordered them, I coulda got them for $195 a piece, but I couldn't wait 5 days.
Heh, are you really going to the club tonight? Which one?
