Wait, wait, wait!  It is Spring - driving weather.  We are not supposed to 
do this in driving weather.

I tempted the gods on Monday and got smacked pretty hard.

Sunday was a beautiful day and I got my car out for the first time this 
year.  It started instantly and ran perfectly.  On Monday while doing 
errands, I bragged about driving a whole day without anything going wrong. 
I then made it less than five miles when a rear wheel almost fell off after 
I went over a bump.  Because I have been driving on that wheel quite a few 
miles since redoing my rear end (differential and bearings), I assume the 
wheel was not seated and the bump seated it, leaving all the lugs loose and 
rattling like a blown tire.  The trunk has a full compliment of electrical 
gadgetry, of course, but no tire iron.  I had to walk 1.5 miles home to get 
a tire iron.

Never brag.
