The Rim Leak

Well we decided to take my car into a tire shop to have it inspected. I've been having to put air in one of the tires every 3 or 4 weeks and that didn't seem normal. Sure enough, they detected a rim leak (never heard of this type), and it cost about $25 to repair. We were happy not to have to replace the tire. The guy said we actually would have had to buy a pair of tires because you normally get 2 front or 2 rear tires for rotation purposes, or something to that effect.

My big surprise was learning that tires no longer have an inner tube. They now use tubeless tires, which tend to be safer.


We were able to visit L at her school on the weekend. We took her grocery shopping, then went to the local mall where she found a new pair of boots to replace her salt-stained ones. She also got a new spring coat and some new tops. Then we went out to dinner with 3 of her friends, her future roommates in the fall. It was nice to meet them and they all seem to be nice kids. K had a great time with the university kids, like he was in the big times.



Here's that perigee moon from Saturday night. It was very bright and beautiful after the clouds rolled away. I may not have caught it at the best time, but there it is.
