Round Two....???

This past weekend I was planning on heading into Arlington to catch the Astros vs. Rangers game. PLANNING is the key word.

I left around two o'clock and was beyond ecstatic. This feeling of excitement only lasted for about 15 minutes. At about ten miles outside of Abilene's city limits my trip took a wrong turn. All of the sudden my tire just popped! Luckily it was my back tire so I could maintain control.

This might sound strange but I had pretty good luck through out this entire ordeal. First off my tire flew off right in font of an exit for a rest stop. Two, right as I pulled into the rest stop a truck driver named Royce was checking his tire and offered to help me. Luckily Royce new what he was doing and my spare was on within fifteen minutes. The only problem was that my spare was extremely low on air and in no way ready to make the trek to Arlington.

I turned back towards the Discount Tire in Abilene. I was done with the tire shop around 5:00 and decided to hit the road one more time. This time things were going great until I hit Palo Pinto County. I was pulled over and received the very first ticket of my life! I don't think he believed my story about already having a flat tire that day.

Needles to say I missed the game but ended up having a wonderful weekend regardless of the rocky start.
