It started out Monday night. I left work early because Brittany had an ortho appointment. (hopefully one of her last). After she was done I decided to sneak some flowers from OKABOUS.
We got done picking out our flats of zinnias, paid and headed to the car. Looked down and i had a flat tire. Brittany was excited because she had just learned how to change a tire in Auto Mechanics at School. So she proceeded to get the job done. A nice gentleman stopped and asked us if we needed help. The lug nuts we on really tight so Brittany reluctantly handed him the wrench (????NOT SURE OF WHAT ITS CALLED?????) He snapped the lug nut right off. (and we had just got new tires at Discount Tires and the failed to mention that they had snapped a lug nut off too) We decided not to try any further and called mom to come take us home to wait for Guy to help. Guy go home, we went back to the car armed with a tool box and WD-40 and with a little elbow grease he got the remaining 3 bolts off and we were on our way.
Tuesday morning we got up, Guy left for work early 6:30. Brittany and i headed out at 7:00 (like usual) and we backed out of the driveway to a wierd sound. Brittany got out of the truck and looked at the back tire and it was flat as a pancake. We pulled back in and proceed to change the tire. It took us 1 1/2 hrs but we did it!!!!!! Brittany was amazing, auto mechanics is really paying off. HAHAHHAHA We got the 2 flat tires in the back of the truck, got ready to put the key in the ignition and OH MY HECK locked the keys in the house. CURSES Lucky thing i left the front room window open a crack. She shimmied her way up the ladder and got into the house and retrieved the keys.
Needless to say by the time i got to work by 9:00, i was ready to go home and take a nap.
HOPEFULLY TODAY WILL BE A BETTER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am impressed by both of your tire changing skills. I have never done it but would like to learn.
