Having fun with tires

I had to get two new tires for my car. What did I do? Of course I asked Mr. Ken, the car guy, to help me. His words to me were “Toyo.” What? Is that short hand for Toyota? Nope, it’s a type of tire. Since small cars have small tires, the tires should be relatively inexpensive. But relative is in the eye of the beholder. For the price of two tires, I could have completely re-stocked my exercise DVD library.

Since Mr. Ken was nice enough to do all the legwork for the tires, I went with him to the tire place. Even before we got out of the car, his eyes lit up since right next to the tire place was a tool place. I was afraid he was going to run into the tool place and leave me to deal with the tire guys. Ack, this is definitely a man’s territory.

In the tool place, Mr.Ken was like a little kid in a candy store. He slowly wandered up and down every aisle. I amused my self by trying to find something pink in the tool store. Something, anything. I succeeded. This is construction string. I have no idea what that is, it just looks like pretty pink string to me.

I also found some cute little tires. I have no idea what these are used for, toy trucks perhaps?

The tire place and tool store is right across the street from a nice mall. So I dragged Mr. Ken to the mall. He made a bee line for the bakery. Mr. Ken was very happy since they had cinnamon buns at the bakery. And they were very big ones too!

What do you do to pass the time when you have a boring errand to do?
