The Wheels On My SUV Go.....

Flat. Yet, again. You see in my teeny, tiny town there are still unpaved roads. I live on of those roads. Every now and again the County Workers come with a big piece of equipment and grade our road. meaning they push the dirt around and make it smooth again(instead of the washboard like texture it normally has). This is great for driving purposes - but it wreaks havoc on my tires.

You see every time the County Workers grade our road they dig up all of the nice sharp objects underneath. And within 2-3 days of them grading the road I get a nail in my tire. Every frickin time. And every time I go to the tire place and get them patched. I have become friends with the owner of the tire shop - I am there so often he now gives me discounts.

We have lived in the house for 6 years. I have been through 2 sets of tires in those six years. Every tire that is on my gas guzzling SUV at the moment has at least 2 patches. The tire guy says I have to get new tires again. Sigh. At least he will give me a discount.
