More Adventures with Our Fabulous Car
Yesterday I tagged along when Straya dropped off Domon at school, and since we were out, I wanted to stop by Walmart for cat supplies, and also suggested going to the grocery store in the same center for their double chocolate chip "Death Muffins". They didn't have any, so we went to Jack in the Box instead. On the way home, as we were almost at our exit, this pick up truck drives by and the passenger leans out to wave at us and point down at the driver's side tire. I didn't understand, but then we felt it...one of the tires going flat. Straya pulled off just short of the exit, where the shoulder was very wide, and we checked it out.
Fortunately, a motel was a short walk down the exit, and she called triple A. Within a half hour someone came and helped changed to the spare -- except the spare was partly flat, too. XP We made it to the discount tires place next to the mall, and now we have brand new front tires. :P We were going to get them replaced eventually, anyway.
At least the guy there wasn't sharking us to get more work done. That seems to be the good thing out here compared to places in CA. The only thing is, we might not have had to get tires so soon if not for the crappy roads out here. ;P Potholes and bad paving jobs, and some roads not paved at all. Bleh. :P
And, y'know, this is what I get for immersing in too many favorites at one time...After having discussed TF fic stuff with Straya during our trek, once we got home, I ended up putting in the GundamW DVDs since I couldn't actually motivate myself to work on the TF fic, so I hauled out TWWG instead. Some time later I began to slowly formulate a crossover of GundamW and TF...I have a basic idea, but I'm stuck on finding a semi-plausible way for one or the other group of characters to be in either universe. ;) But, hey, it makes a little more sense than some series crossovers...You've got two races involved in wars, and different factions everywhere... I'm just not sure I can do it Autobot vs Decepticon because there are only so many TFs with driver's seats/cockpits, and Treize isn't at all evil, like Megatron is evil, so... :|
Snitched from horsetechie and rather ironic since I got the same place on the quiz. XD
