Here is something....I was driving along yesterday with my niece and the car starts being really funny, so I turn off the radio and the air and it is still shaking and things. I decide to pull over thinking it is a flat tire. I had really thought it was coming from the drivers side, that tire was ok, I go around to the passenger side.....the tire is completely shredded. I was bad. I was so thankful that I was just driving along on a street going like 40 mph and not the freeway.
Do I know how to change a tire? ummm, no. We called my sister who works at a car dealer's body shop and she sent one of the guys out and he changed it. I had to drive around on a little donut tire for a while. I then looked into the warranty of the tires and they were still covered. So I spent a couple hours at Costco while they changed, rotated and balanced the tires. It was nice to the the balancing and rotation out of it. This warranty has "Lifetime" Warranty...which means while the car is in the ownership of the person who bought the tires. That person happened to be two owners ago, but I know who that is and he was kind enough to help me out and we got it all taken care of without much $ out of my pocket. Oh the joys of being a car owner. I got the pink slip on Saturday, so it was time for something like this to happen.
Other than that support is still slowly climbing. I am thinking of reducing my budget a little and then I can be at 54%. I am suppose to report in Fresno on August 15th. So gotta be praying and working hard. I have a support appointment tonight and still have a lot of people to follow-up with. I haven't reached the end of my rope yet, but time is getting short.

I'm glad the tire situation wasn't as bad as it could have been!
Ahhhh...i can't change a tire either. Thank God for AAA. :-) So glad the situation worked out.
Will keep praying for your support.
Donut tires rock! Just make sure it always has air in case another tire blows!
