Hi everyone. I had my ITM Final Exam this morning. Passed it with an 86.7% score. Should be finding out next week about the continuation classes in the series. Also had my Health Delivery Systems' Midterm Exam this past Wednesday. I passed it with a B+ which, simply amazes me. I have an Accounting Quiz due this weekend and my Statistics test was delayed until next Thursday. The professor's thumb drive files were corrupted somehow, so he has to make a completely new test. This semester has been interesting, to say the least.

 

Good morning Idaho! Craig, good to hear the tests are going well!

 

Good morning everyone. My wife's car blew a tire last night while my daughter was driving (she's a pizza delivery driver, in addition to her part-time job with the Nampa school district) when the tire let go. Luckily, she was returning to the "office" when it happened. I was still in Boise (during rush hour) when she called. We just bought these tires on Saturday. I don't see any physical damage. None of my gals want to drive the car now. I drove my wife to work this morning. I'm getting ready to head over to the tire shop.

Oh, I tried to use the OEM Toyota scissor-jack and crank-rod thingy to change the tire. They bent. Seriously, I could feel and see the rod twisting while trying to lift the right-front of the car. The screw-bar in the scissor-jack is also bent. That's going to be another interesting conversation with the Toyota dealer.

Hope everyone has a better week than I'm having. It can only get better from here, right?

 

Good morning Craig and the Idaho crew! Craig, I won't make any comments on Toyota stuff being junk.....I promise......LOL

 

Morning Idaho.

 

Wow that sounds kinda bad being new tires. Did the tire shop take care of the problem?

 

Thanks, Pat, but I already made those comments and my daughter couldn't believe what saw at the time. She watched me pull the jack/rod out from under the car and saw the damage. She's paying a bit more attention when I work on my Mustang and the truck. She's also "volunteering" to help with the Toyota maintenance, too.

Tim, no worries. The tire shop gave no hassles with the tire replacement. They were shocked that there was a problem with the tires so new, too. They inspected the tire and couldn't find anything in the tire. I suggested maybe it was a bad bead. The shop guys thought it might be possible. I was in and out of the shop in less than 15 minutes and that includes filling out the paperwork.

 

Sounds good Craig.

 

Morning Idaho.

 

Hello from Oregon. We, the wife and I, have one more day of visiting with our daughter before we head back to Idaho. My daughter has enjoyed her time with "her" dog. We'll take her back to her dormitory at Eastern Oregon University before bedtime. We'll leave the RV park tomorrow morning.

 

Howdy Craig, glad to hear your enjoying the trip.

 

Good morning Idaho, hope your weekend was a good one!

 

Hi everyone. Studying, studying, and studying.

 

Morning Idaho.

 

Good afternoon Idaho!
