Return to office, good times. Though in fairness, I was commuting between office and summer camp pickup, so it could have happened regardless of our office mandate. Still, I have feelings.

Someone dropped a caltrop in the stroad and it sliced my tire open

Thanks. Not ideal but I just bought them this spring and road hazard warranty is going to help cover most of it. It’s a hassle but the tire is on order and our mobile repair scheduled, so I just need to get through a couple days around town. I might throw a snow tire on instead of the spare.

Bro I got a flat by somehow running over a goddamn screwdriver on the road yesterday (you can see it sticking out of the tire), I feel your pain

I see your flat tire and raise you a second flat tire (the brand new replacement tire also went totally flat a week later) and a blown A/C motor at home that sounds like this all day, and makes half of the house whatever hot-ass temp the attic is

Also, our cable internet/phone modem shuts off and reboots itself a couple times a day, and I can’t call them when it happens because our cellphones need the wifi backup to work at home.

Yikes! That must have made a ton of of noise. Mine was just a rattle but after many close calls, today was the day that I actually broke the tire. I drove to and back from Westville once without knowing I had a giant nail in a tire 😬
