That is right....I am stranded. I dropped my son off at the babysitter and was headed to work, I forgot some things at home, so I went back. I was in the house less then 5 minuets, just grabbing a few things. I returned to my car and noticed that it was listing to one side. I look at my drivers side rear tire and I hear the air hissing out of it. Knowing that I have little time before it is flat, I jump into my jeep to drive to a gas station to up air in the tire. That is when my jeep didn't start! I have been having problems with the batteries for about a week now, and was waiting until I got paid Monday to replace it.
I am a very prideful person, and when things go bad, I don't always ask for help. So I went to the back yard, grabbed my bike and proceeded to ride my bike to work. About half way there I was wondering why it was so hard to peddle. I changed my gears, that wasn't the problem, then I looked down to discover that my bike tire was also flat! I proceeded to walk the rest of the way to work, getting madder with each step. Today, there is no solution for this problem, except to just wait until Monday.
Man that sucks! I've been having the same problem with my battery and tires. I just had a nail in my tire so that was an easy fix. Glad to read you made it to work even though you lost tires on both modes of transportation.
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem with my battery. My car kept dying out so I went to O'Reilly to charge my battery, but they said its bad and I waited until pay day too to replace it hehe.. I couldn't use my car for 3 days so I had to borrow my brother's car. Glad that you made a way to work.. on a bike then walking, its good exercise!
ReplyDeleteI was going say that I'm glad that you're able to bike to work but it just wasn't your day. Hope the tires -- jeep and bike -- have been fixed and your vacation is/has soothed your wrath :-)
