Ted Cadwallader<p>Today was windshield replacement day. On the way to pick up the car I hit a pothole and punctured a tire. Changed the tire at the windshield shop and learned the new windshield cracked during installation. Drove to the tire repair shop. New tube and repair set up for Monday. New windshield appointment set for next Friday. Pretty expensive day. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/adulting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adulting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/PleaseStop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PleaseStop</span></a></p>
