Saturday Summary: I Need New Tires

Jalal (Glory), 13 ‘Alá (Loftiness), 171 BE - Saturday, March 14, 2015 about 3:20 pm Pacific Daylight Time

I went to Discount Tires this week to have air put in my tires. The young man who aired the tires also inspected the tires and informed me that there were cracks in the sides, which means I will have to purchase tires sometime withing the next two or three months. I already knew I would have to get tires this year because I had the two front tires fixed last year and have had to watch the air in the tires this year.

I will get the tires at Discount Tires because that is where I always purchase new tires. I had planned on November or December, but the cracks in the sides have changes that. Since I cannot qualify for a credit card or a payday loan (I have tried both) I will have to figure out how to get the money. I suppose I could go into a depression over this, but that is not going to help me find a solution to the problem. Instead of going into a depression I am going to put the issue in God's hands.

A Busy Tuesday in Las Vegas

'Idal (Justice), 12 Sultan (Sovereignty), 164 B.E. - Tuesday, January 29, 2008 about 5:27 PM PST

Today was a full and busy day. This morning I didn't get out of the house until about 10:30 or 11:oo AM because I decided to clean my Yahoo e-mail out. That took quite a while, then we went to get some groceries and we went to get Discount Tires for tires.

When I went into garage this morning, I thought the tire on the front passenger side looked low, but my tires always look low inside the garage so I didn't think much about it. After picking the groceries up, putting them in the car, Mom and Mom's walker, I looked at the tire again. It was low all right.

I went to the Discount Tire garage on Maryland PKW, I intended to get only two tires, but the deal was so good I bought four. It's just as well, the tires which were on the car before weren't the same size tires, which effect the gas mileage. This is the first time I've bought four new tires for a car in years.

I remember my grandfather buying tires and he always bought four at a time. He'd buy four new tires and then have the best of the old tires put on his spare. Of course, he had a full size spare in his trunk, which I have as well. I'm one of those people who needs a full size spare because I usually can't get the tire fixed right away.

I don't have to worry about getting a tire fixed if I have a problem now. Since I got the tires at Discount Tires, they have a road hazard guarantee and the fix the tire free. We're not going anywhere for a while though. I have new tires, but I need more gas in the car to get anywhere. I'll park the car in the garage until February 1.

It's amazing how much better the car drives with the new tires. I don't hear as many weird noises as I did before. It feels better when I drive it and when I turn corners. I got a good deal on the tires, of course I always get a good deal at Discount Tires; that's why I go there for tires.
