My Thursday was eventful but unproductive.

I wrote off the Mondeo's LHS front wheel rim with accompanying rapid air loss and severely damaged the LHS rear rim hitting a small but deep pothole on the way to work this morning.  Not on a backroad either... a main Highway.

In the rain  Sad

Mondeo only has a stupid 80km/h rated space-saver spare too  Undecided

Before I'd got the piece of crap which passes for a vehicle jack out of the boot... 

"bang!! thud,thud,thud,thud,thud,thud" ...along comes another victim, a young woman with babies in the back of the car....  Her LHS front alloy rim... buckled beyond repair too.   While I was changing her wheel...

"bang!! thud,thud,thud,thud,thud,thud"....  one more... 

Before I left the roadside there were another two "bang!! thud,thud,thud,thud,thud,thuderers"...  Plus another guy who stopped to say the same thing happened to him (and 3 others while he was there) the previous morning.... he'd reported it to the Roads Authority but they'd done nothing to fix it.  Not even put up a hazard sign  bang head.

I called into the local Cop Shop to report it, but the Sergeant behind the desk was too busy not giving a fat rats arse to do anything.  Even me asking if he was gonna wait for the head-on collision was like water off a duck's back  bang head.

So with one skinny 80km/h wheel and one damaged but still holding air wheel I limped the 100km to a Ford dealer who had 2 new rims in stock for me.... hung around while they fitted me into their schedule....  and then the day was over.

A day at the Ford dealer is better than a day at the mine...

Ahhh..yes.

There is that.

At least you didn't have co-workers asking you to do their work for them. Tongue

Sorry to hear about the damage Ung.  Did the local agency responsible for the road maintenance in the area accept any responsibility?  A bridge in a nearby town damaged some tires/rims and the city (responsible for the bridge & road maintenance) had to cover the repair costs.

Good news on the house dp, I feel your pain on the check though, no fun writing big ones.

evening.

Hangers finished downstairs around 4:00.

Taper is upstairs walking on stilts finishing ceilings.

While the upstairs got smaller...the downstairs got bigger... I guess it all evens out. Tongue

I guess the check can wait till tomorrow.
