Dec 9 - half packed

Is that like half baked ?  I hope not !

The car is mostly packed and ready, the stupid extra (not calling it spare) rim/tire hanging off the back.  I've never seen anyone drive with something like this before.    I checked out putting it inside and could have managed that had I removed the floor of the back with a honking big torx driver, put the spare wheel in place of the donut (same diameter, just thicker) and then packed around it.  I'm still wondering if I should have done that but this will be a good test.

This is all because I've now destroyed three tires with this car.  We need to be able to continue our journey if it happens again ... of course a million other things could go wrong so it might be a complete waste, like carrying an umbrella to stop it from raining.

I did get out for a little more than 25 miles yesterday.  Sandy had a facial and haircut.  We're all revved up with someplace to go !

Northward !
