Camping Again

Last weekend we spent a few days at Bass Lake enjoying the nice weather and doing some relaxing.  Here are some pictures of the girls in their tents.

Rosebud usually spends the four hour plus drive sleeping in her bed behind the driver seat.  However, this time she decided to park her snout on the center arm rest and keep it there the entire time.

Tire Troubles

Recently we had some bad luck with our wheels.

I took Aimee's car in for an oil change on Saturday afternoon.  When I got there they showed me a nail that was lodged in the left rear tire.  Unfortunately it was in a spot that wouldn't hold a patch and so we had to get Aimee a new tire to go with her oil change.

When I came home I saw my Blazer sitting in the garage with a flat left rear tire. I pulled out a nasty piece of very sharp metal that had lodged in one of the grooves.  I drove around on the spare for a few days before I went in for my oil change.

On Tuesday I got a call from Aimee who was on the side of the road with more tire trouble.  Apparently she picked up a bolt somewhere along the way and it lodged itself into one of her tires - not the new one.

When I took my car in I brought Aimee's tire with me.  They were able to patch up both tires while I got my oil change and now we are both back on the road at full strength.
