It was Dr Nikola Telsa’s 150th Birthday last week. How did I miss that! Lucky for me, I spotted this sign at Questacon at the Tesla coil in the exhibition Awesome Earth [listening to: They Got Lost - They Might Be Giants ] 4:51:05 PM comment [ ] trackback [ ] G! • Geek Tyre Woes - A great start to the day I was driving out of the garage this morning and ‘Rigo noticed my rear left tyre was a little flat. So I went to the local servo and filled it with air. We drove off and the car wobbled and shook at bit. What The? Maybe I had over-inflated one tyre? I stopped at another servo and check the air pressure in all the tyres. Off we went again. Now it was shaking and rattling even more. Panic sets in and I drive to the nearest tyre place I can find. Luckily for me, they had no customers when I drove in and they looked at the car immediately. Turns out there was a HUGE bubble on the tyre (which I couldn’t see since it was on the underside of the car). This was a tyre blowout waiting to happen. So, I waited for them to replace the tyre. $300 later, we’re back on the road. Shakes have gone And the good news, I got ‘Rigo to school on time. BTW - This isn’t the first time [listening to: Song for Shelter - Fatboy Slim ] 11:00:05 AM comment [ ] trackback [ ] G! • Family © Copyright 2006 Frank Arrigo.
