Today was tire day, and I wish tire was exhaustion as it would have been less costly. Read on..

Started my day early with Jim, the plumber, arriving at 0730 promptly. My realtor said he was young, but she neglected to tell me he was movie star quality. Didn’t know they made plumbers that looked like that. Let’s hope his abilities are as good as his 👀.

After the plumbing consultation was on to the tire store my good 👀 plumber recommended. His recommendation was spot on, and I was in and out in 15 minutes to the tune of $180.

OUCH!!

Next decided to purchase the 20 inch electric stove from the messenger seller and contacted him. To purchase this item new from the big box hardware store with tax, cord, takeaway of current stove, and delivery was over $700.

Since he was home I was on my way for the 90 minute ride.

What a glorious day for a ride with the Catskill’s spring bushes and flowers in their glory with pink and yellow. Was fun to drive by the prisons I used to visit when a corrections employee.

Upon arrival at the seller’s home realized the stove would not fit in the trunk or back seat of the car. Who thought? So, pulled out my trusty rooftop cargo carrier and the stove fit and was secured for the 90 minute ride! These carriers are magic.

Once home the stove easily slid off the roof and was then cleaned. 🧼. Two cans of oven cleaner and several rolls of bounty later produced a miraculous conversion. My stove had a great shine and new look. Who says an old babe can’t be fixed up? And this doll must be somewhere in her fifties..

Upon picking up my cleansers noted a flat tire on the back of the car. What?!!! Two tires in one day? Could this be true? Yes, Mercury retrograde is not yet completed.

Since it was 430 drove quickly to the gas station where the unfriendly Pakistani owners gave me change for the air machine to inflate the tire.

As I inflated the tire I heard air escaping. This was not a good sign, however, I made it the 10 miles to the tire store. Upon arrival I was greeted with, “Weren’t you here this morning?” How perceptive of them, I was noticed. Probably they spoke of me all day as when they called my guy sleepy Joe I told them I ❤️ Joe and all became mum.🤐

So, another $180. later, was relieved to have a $150. stove as now I have the tires to pay for.

And as I drove home 🏠 noted the pothole which started this situation had been filled with newly minted asphalt..

What a difference a day makes, and
