Getting A Few Messages

About three months ago I man in the parking lot of the mall was looking at my right front tire. With so many scams, I wondered if I should go out and check out his concern. He voiced something to me but I could not hear him so I got out of my car and went out to look where he was pointing. "Hey, you have a huge gouge in your tire and should have that tire replaced." he said. I looked at the tire and it just looked as if some the rubber had been lifted from the rim. I thanked him and went on my way.

My plan was to get new tires because the tires are five years old and are probably ready to be changed.  Before I left for California, I took a penny and put it in one of the grooves in the tire.  If   any part of Lincoln's head could be seen, the tires were not ready to be replaced. I could see his head and even though my gut feeling was telling me that the tires needed to be changed I didn't do anything about it.

Today I happened to see a paper on my windshield. 

So I came right home and made an appointment to have my tires replaced. Evidently, strangers are seeing something that I do not see. Until I get the tires changed, I will drive with trepidation every where I go and pray that I make it safely to where I am going until I have those tires changed!

December 31, 2019, I drove to the Firestone garage thinking that I would leave my car while I went to Blackhawk to gamble. My appointment was for 9 a.m. but when I drove into the lot at 8:20 a.m., the young man told me they could replace the tires right away and it would be finished by 9:30 a.m.

I waited and watched the snow falling down, felt the coldness every time someone opened the door, watched Drew Cary's game show, and listened to six persons walk in, after I did, to have their tires changed also. Snow seems to make people think about getting new tires When I drove away on my new tires, I felt safe and happy that I had finally had new tires put on my car. Amazing the confidence that the new tires gave me!
