Fixing the Other Daughter’s Car (Elks Lodge 309 – COS, CO)

I spent most of Friday at my old high school buddy’s automotive shop “Chuck’s Auto“.  My oldest daughter’s car had some serious front tire issues as you can see from the following pics:

My buddy Mike came to the rescue again with reasonable prices and his outstanding mechanical abilities.  As usual, I did a good job of supervising and even got my hands dirty:)  You may remember Mike from previous posts HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Mike gave the car a much needed alignment…

and mounted/balanced two new front tires.

Thanks for the help again Mike!

In other news:  The Urban Escape Vehicle just missed being clobbered by this tree branch overnight.  We woke up to see this laying in front of the Coach.  We didn’t even hear the wind that must have kicked up to do this… or could it be the work of mad squirrels?  Luckily, the tree isn’t directly above us.

Stay tuned for my next post.  We went to a car show on Saturday in Woodland Park and saw my old ’57 Chevy Pickup, then it was on to a mini-family reunion at my Uncle Alan’s in Florrisant/Divide CO.
