Early Morning Flying

Angela & I planned on taking an early flight out for breakfast this morning. We haven’t flown in a few weeks & picking a place to stop and eat is always a good excuse to get out. It just so happened that the plane was available to allow us to get breakfast and still make it back in time for late church services. Well… the weather was pretty misty/foggy this morning which can make visibility from the air a little difficult and the potential was there for it to get a little worse… so we detoured and ate breakfast first to give the fog a chance to figure out what it wanted to do. We then took a quick flight just cuz, and then headed home for a bit before church.

Angela’s new Rav4 has one of those warning lights on the dash for tire pressure… both of us sort of snickered a bit when we found out there was a light for tire pressure. Well… yesterday it came on but we were away from the house. We took a quick walk around to check the tires, and not a one looked any lower than the others. I forgot to check the pressure before we headed to the airport this morning and made a mental note to check it later. When walking out to the car after breakfast it became obvious there was a tire with an issue… huh, guess that warning light works! At least it’s just a screw in the tire and will hold air for a couple days. Filled it up with air and now that we’re back home I’ll pull it and take it up to Costco for a patch (free flat repairs for members :-)

I’m off to pull a tire… and try to miss as little of the NASCAR race as possible while doing it! Wish me luck! Hope you have a wonderful day!
