I got to the tire store bright and early hoping to get in and get out.  But at 8:30, the store was full and there was a line out of the door.  I explained to the technician about my problem so he plugged in a tester and announced that it was a simple fix.  I just needed a new battery in my brakes.  “Great”!!  This announcement was followed by “But we can’t do it today”.  “Rats”  It seems that Thursday is the earliest that I could get in.

A quick check of my calendar showed that I had a dentist appointment on Thursday.   But since I was fairly certain that I could reschedule my dentist appoint, I agreed.
