Troubles and Olympics

Well, today was a day that I've not had happen before. I was on the interstate heading over to Chamberlain and I blew a tire on the SUV. About 20 miles before, I was talking to Bob riding with me, and we noticed a shimmy in the front end. I figured it was just an alignment problem, and we continued on. Well, I didn't know what was ahead, and it was quite an experience, but not quite as interesting as rolling one. Been there, done that. The only issues I had with this were getting the spare out, and getting the jack high enough, and getting the blown tire out, and taking only 45 minutes to do it. Yeah, it took a while to figure that whole concept out, but eventually, it was back to the road. It was amazing that my vibration problem actually was related to the rear tire going bad. No more vibration! That was a good thing, but changing tires along side the cars going 75 past you is kinda adventurous. Anyhow, I was going over to Chamberlain to attend an assignor course for the fall soccer season. So, it was a very adventurous day to say the least.

Now, tonight, it's just sitting here and watching the Olympics. I've been really enjoying these, but have concluded these skiers are just nuts. 65 mph on snow, is just not a good plan. That's a hard surface to hit going that fast. Just finished the Super G for the women and the American Vonn won another medal. I'm really not a fan of her at all. She comes across to me as arrogant and cocky. I guess I shouldn't judge, but I'm not impressed. I was happy the other girl won a couple nights ago. I do hate the sight of the people falling and things though. You think of all the hours and time spent preparing, and I just hate seeing that disappointment to anyone. Well, time to watch more. Happy weekend!
