Hooray – we got confirmation that we start working at WonkaTech tomorrow at 9:00am! Rock on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We took the car round to Discount Tyres on Rancho Drive, and got four new shiny Michelin Destiny tyres. (When we brought our car in for a service last week, they did say the tyres would need replacing soon, within the next couple of months.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also paid for a spare wheel, and asked them to put the best of the original tyres on it for a “real” spare, (as opposed to the rinky-dink training wheel we currently have in our spare wheel bay in the trunk).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new tyres are cool… our car has that “new tyre” feeling. Grippy grippy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course I immediately wanted to run over something soft so that we could leave a nice tread print, but then I realised that cleaning the wheel afterwards didn’t appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tomorrow will also be our 8th wedding anniversary. As Lisa put it, looking at the spare tire in the trunk and the four new shiny ones, “We exchanged rings!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
