Tyre Trouble

We've been working in the yard

and extending the lawn from in front of the house to across the driveway where there is this big space, waiting to be worked on. Anyway, David and I have put sod down on about half of that area, and there's still more sod on our trailer, waiting to be laid.



Speaking of trailer, we were on our way home from Lowe's a couple of days ago, and were literally just FEET from our front gate when THIS happened to a tyre we had just put a plug in...





A tyre that had been patched prior to getting the load of grass, had decided to die on us and fall off the freakin' rim! Anyway, we inched our way back into the driveway, close enough to unload some of the turf, and we had to go and get a new tyre today, get the Walmart guys to put it on the rim, and David put it back on the trailer. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the little incident.

Phew at least it's a minor accident with a big scare :) I'm relieved that nobody is hurt or terrified! I could remember when I was young a truck behind our car burst one of its tyre and it crashed into our bonnet... I got a minor neck injury, but it was scary!
