Leaving Pittsboro....pretty day!
Unfortunately, just past Raleigh on extremely busy I-40 we had a blowout on one of the trailer tires! No worries, we had everything we needed to fix it. Very minor amount of damage to the wheel well as the tire exploded.
The culprit....no fun working beside the busy roadway. Tractor/trailers zooming by. Their windstream buffeting the trailer as Duane worked.
Duane made quick work of it....so nice to travel with my mechanic!!
And an uneventful remainder of the journey to Oriental. We were greeted by the smiling faces of Kris and Dean on Charm. Nice welcome.
My Sailrite fabric samples had arrived. Fun to get to touch and feel the different fabrics.
The main choice will be the fabric for the salon cushions. We'll be trying to match/coordinate with the countertop coloring.
But that's on a bit of a hold now - we've made the decision to head to Jacksonville, FL to retrieve What If for Ed and Cathy. So the 4 of us will pile in Ed & Cathy's car and head south bright and early!
Hey K,
ReplyDeleteWOW!...that's a crazy explosion...twice now on trips to and from Columbia...I've been behind an exploding tire...once on an old tractor trailer that sent shards of tire flying probably 40 feet in the air and the sound of the explosion in front of me was like a gun going off...and the second one I was behind a large RV and the front driver's tire blew...no flying shards that time...and he managed to maneuver to the curb without incident...but still dangerous...good thing y'all were able to get it fixed quickly...
Love,
T
