Taco(less) Tuesday

I had TWO Lorenza's for dinner yesterday.

So I might skip the whole Taco Tuesday thing.

(Not that I ever do it anyway... lol)

Kyle dropped by today.

4 hours to drive here.

8 minutes with a D.O.T. doctor for his

bi-annual physical.

4 hours to drive back.

So he stopped at the house and I

gave him a big ol' bowl of 

home spun blueberry ice cream.

I didn't take a picture because

ice cream isn't really pretty.

But it sure is GOOD!

Probably by the time he gets back

there tonight he will have a roof!

Then the next thing they do is put down

the concrete floor.

And THEN they build the walls.

Yup, that's weird.

But that's how they do it.

Hahahaha.

********************************************

Kyle just called.
He made it 1.5 hours up the highway
to Titusville (home of Kennedy Space Center)
and the truck started vibrating real bad.

Yup.
Front passenger side tire is ballooned and
ready to blow.
He limped to the next exit and into
an old service station and
is trying to change it.
The teeny tiny 2# bottle jack that came
with the truck just   b a r e l y  lifts this
big ol' diesel dually.
(He's driving Linda's farm truck because
he discovered ants in his car and put
out ant bait thingies and they are
SWARMING all over in there...)
But he got it off the ground.

Fingers crossed the spare isn't flat.
The tires are from 2012.
Granted, they don't put a lot of miles
on the truck, but they are pretty
dry rotted.
Poor Linda is going to need
to put 6 new tires on there
pretty soon.
Or sell it.
Or both.

(Awesome... the spare is dated 2007!)
Luckily (ok, not luck, he's pretty savvy)
he stopped next to the vacuum / air pump
thing at the service station.
However it takes $1.50 in quarters
and he only has $1.25.
(Like my play-by-play?)
So he just walked inside and got a
couple dollars worth of quarters.

Got the tire on, got some air in it...
decided to turn around and come home.
He'll swap it out for his truck.
It will be a LONG day though.
