I realized this morning \u2013 Monday \u2013 that I wasted away the weekend and didn’t post exciting news. \u2013 Because there wasn’t any.<\/p>\n
I did read a story of a family from southern California that drove north to visit college towns with a young son. They had a Tesla that they bought without a spare tire. Apparently the tires are large and expensive and take up space where one would normally place groceries, golf clubs, or other important stuff.
\nSomething happened and a tire was damaged. Their problems began.
\nLocal tire dealers did not have a Tesla size tire. Via phone, one was found and delivery was arranged. The driver went to the wrong town \u2013 hours in the wrong direction.
\nEventually, the car was again operational, but they barely made it home by Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Moral: Check your spare.
\nOn my pickup, the spare is under the bed and has to be lowered with an affair like the handle of some jacks used to raise a car. This is done through a hole near the rear license plate.
\nI went to the local Les Schwab tire center and being a loyal customer they checked all five tires. The spare was about 7 psi low. Now fixed. At home I watched a video showing how to lower the spare if it is needed. I hope I won’t ever have that opportunity.
\nSo, a suggestion: Have a look at your spare and make sure there is proper air pressure therein. <\/p>\n
My sister lives in the Cleveland Metro region. They did have a bit of excitement when a pair of police horses got out and took a stroll on I-90. There are videos from the TV stations. I snagged the image below from one of those.
\nAnimals seem to know where home is. These two got back safely, but not before causing a commotion of the interstate.

\nYesterday I got an inch of snow and this morning it was 19\u00b0F. It has been on-and-off windy. The saying about March coming in like a Lion fits.
\nFriends in South Lake Tahoe are dealing with several feet of snow. Parts of that area lost power. Not them.<\/p>\n
Maybe I will have a more exciting week. I expect to be pruning grape vines.<\/p>\n
