ook Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 As I left work tonight, I noticed my car felt kind of... rough. It sounded like it was coming from the back. So I pulled over into the gas station nearby and sure enough, the back right tire was flat. I had changed a tire once before, but the first time was a learning experience - it took me almost an hour.THIS time, though, I was prepared. I knew exactly where the tools were, how to operate them, and what steps to take in what order. I changed that thing like I knew what I was doing. And soon enough, I was back on my way home. So to sum it up:I paid attention to my surroundings, noticed something unusual, diagnosed it (correctly!), came prepared with a plan, then executed said plan flawlessly. And it worked!UH! Felt like a BADASS!For a fitness-related woot (feels weird not having anything), I said no to dessert yesterday.

Kyliewyotie Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Killer ook. Like Hiraedd said being self sufficient feels amazing.Great job on being prepared, taking the time to ensure you have the needed tools, and knowledge on how to use them is invaluable.

Jord Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I am NOT the giggling type, but I giggled on the inside when I read the side comment about dessert. which isn't funny, I know, but in context made me laugh. I also passed on cookies today, it is so tough when they are sitting out at work! Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment
Harness Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 That is excellent!!! The police around where I live are so used to people not having a clue that if someone is pulled over on the side of the road, they assume that they are going to have to be the one to change the tire! The POLICE!!! Way to be self-sufficient!!! Lvl 1 Elven Minotaur Druid Str: 3 |Dex: 1 |Sta: 4 |Con: 3 |Wis: 2 |Cha: 2"We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."

BeastMistres Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Congrats. I remember changing my tire. An old man pulled over when I was done and lowering my truck, but he wanted to check to make sure I did it right. Then he apologized.
