I remembered yesterday evening that I hadn't gotten a replacement spare tire for the trailer. So I unhooked the one on the trailer and put it in the back of the truck. I also cut a piece of masonite to use as a shield so the new one doesn't get ruined. Then I tried to find a vendor.
When I needed a tire in Podunk, LA the only tire store in town had one at a good price. I called all over the tire stores in south Austin and no one had one. I finally found a place that was having one delivered in the afternoon. The price was outrageous. Oh well. I paid it.
The temperature today was 92 degrees. There wasn't anyway I was going to put the tire on the trailer in that heat. I'll do it tomorrow. Instead I looked for estate sales. There are a couple of good looking ones that I'll probably go to tomorrow.
I haven't mentioned it, but there are at least three other squirrels helping themselves to the bird seed. I missed an easy shot at one the morning. I may have hit another a couple of days ago, but it ran off so I'm not for sure. I can't believe I missed the one today. In the afternoon there was another one, but I opened the door to throw out a bottle before I saw it.
