Ok to set this up it is snowy and COLD here (-47c). I wake up jump out of bed realizing I must be late, look at the clock OH NO I AM LATE! Run around getting ready and fly out the door, jump in my truck let it warm for a min and away I go… But wait why am I not going? I made it half way out of my driveway but now I’m getting stuck! Oh no I’m rocking it back and forth and back and forth starting to get worried I’m right across the back lane just givin’er! (2nd gear I’m getting desperate) Well I must be stuck I get out to see what I was stuck on look at my back tires they are sunk and sunk deep, as I turn around to my horror the bead has popped on my Driver’s front tire! By this time oh god I’m really late, ok ok what to do well I can’t drive it anywhere but I can’t leave it blocking the back lane. Allright I’ll move my mother’s car and get her boyfriend’s Toyota SUV but first I’ll have to dig through the massive snowbank (4ft high 5ft wide). Digging and digging for a long time, ok that looks wide enough and I pull into my neighbor’s driveway and back through the hole in the snowbank. Get my tow rope attach it to my Truck and the Toyota (got the tow rope 2 days ago and hooks for it yesterday and also really lucky he left his Toyota with 4wd and locking diffs here while he is in BC!) So I wake up my sister, she was happy, and get her to steer my truck while I pull it. I’m pulling it and pulling it can barely move it because of the hump the plow has created at the edge of my driveway. I get her to put it in Reverse and give’er (she never drove standard before I was nervous) and I give’er smoking all four tires trying to move it…ok we did it! Tire off jump in the Toyota pedal to the floor arrive at school with 12 mins left in my last class. Just enough time to re-seal the bead. Check it with soapy water the valve stem is leaking… oh well too late now! School done, jump in the Toyota and pedal to the floor. Get home someone else is blocking the back lane, ok I’ll help he just needs a boost. Turns out his starter is fucked and his battery is frozen sorry bud can’t start it for you. Put the tire on my truck (once again just a little reminder its -47c!) Jump in my truck head to work on comes the engine light! Ok I’m at work drive inside pull the tire off cut the valve stem put a new one on seal er up, put my jack tire iron etc. away, scan it. Bad O2 sensor YAY 175 dollars! Whatever I’ll do that later clear the code and pull the truck outside go to walk back inside. Phone rings It’s my sister “where are the keys for the Toyota” me “in my pocket” her “THE CAR’S HEAT DOESN’T WORK!” me"awh" her “pick up mom she is off in 8 mins” me “sigh” Jump in my truck floor it across the city in rush hour traffic, get her, bring her home, jump in her car, COLD COLD COLD, no fan = fogging/freezing fog windows scraper in my right hand steering wheel in the left pedal right down to the floor. Arrive at work take the old one out put the new one in. Then we close. Floor it home. Winter hasn’t bothered me so far, now I’ve had enough!





To top it off my truck just c**k-blocked me. Should I sell it for that…
