So far today
1. Got up, didn't feel to optimistic about the day or my future.
2. Eventually got dressed, groomed, and drove old p/u truck to Pep Boy's auto to get tires balanced, but first dropped off bike so that when came back with other vehicle I'd have a way to get home.
3. After dropping off bike, and driving back home in truck and driving other sports car to Pep Boys auto, the mechanic/sales person told me the tires were shot and a balance wouldn't do any good, then they quoted me a price on tires...very steep...I told them I'd think about it, and drove down to I think 'Mavorik's tire shop instead, and they quoted me a lower more reasonable price which I agreed to.
4. I checked car in, walked back down street to Pep boys to get my bike and peddled back to Mavoricks tire shop...
5. Got hungry, had to retrieve back pack from car to get wallet, car was already jacked up on hydro lift, so mechanic lowered it so I could get back pack.
6. I then proceeded to walk across the avenue to a McDonalds and got a Mc Something breakfast sandwich (something I haven't done there in probably over 5 years)
7. Walked back to the tire shop, before realizing I left credit card at my apt, so I unlocked bike and peddled home to get card...my place is about 1 mile away from the shop.
8. Got home, got walled, and peddled back to tire shop with credit card.
9. Waited some more for car to get done, dude walks out to me 'Yep, highly suggested your car get an alignment'...= more money...but they supposedly gave me a discount.
10. Mechanic takes car down, and drives off the lot with it, which makes me anxious cause I don't like it when others drive my car, cause they 'hot rod it'...and I hate that.
11. Mechanic came back, we spoke, cashier guy prepared my ticket...I paid using both a credit card and debit card.
12. A bit more small talk with the mechanic, suggestions, questions, this and that.
13. Drove home, dropped off vehicle, then drove back in p/u truck to get my bike.
14. Picked up bike and drove back home, and here I am now.
----------------------------------------
I'm about 750 dollars poorer now than when I woke up.
