Whew the Ballad of the Brakes is finally done. My wife made an appointment at the Tuffy by Aldi at 8 am. Which is fine for me but very early for her because she gets home from work around 4 am. So I wake her up at 7:45 and she takes off like a bat out of hell. I tried to follow her, but she was way too far ahead. So I just went to Aldis. And looked around, and didn't see a Tuffy. I pulled it up on google and there is no Tuffy by Aldi.
I call, but no answer. I text her that I have no idea where she is. I see there is a Tuffy by her job, so I figured that was the one. I drive over there - no dice. So...I went to the gym, since I was going to do that anyway. She eventually calls me and says she forgot her phone at home, and her appointment was for a Tuffy somewhere totally different, and she didn't know where that was, so she was going to be. No problem, I'm at the gym. Then she calls 5 minutes later and says she made an appointment at Mr. Tire (which is by the Aldi). So I go to meet her there, and they said they'd be done by 5.
Which would have been fine, except they didn't get done by 5. Or 6. And she has to leave for work at 6:20, and they are closed tomorrow. We waited in their parking lot, and I think they were trying to hurry up for us but forgot which car was ours, because they ran out to tell us the Honda was ready (we have a Chrysler). Eventually we white knuckled it home so she could change, then ran back so she could get her car just in time for her to take off to work.
