Aikido Summer Camp Day 4: Tires Interlude...

Yesterday morning my plan was to wash my gis and then attend practice at 3:00. Everything changed when I went outside to my Rodeo carrying my gym bag filled with sweaty gis and clothing. My left front tire was flat! I discovered that I didn't have all of the tools necessary to change my tire,(I was missing the lug iron and rod for the spare tire). I called two tire stores, the first refused to come out and help and the second was the Shell station in Glenwood Springs. After about an hour and a half the owner finally came out with a tow truck and moved my SUV into town where I went ahead and purchased two new front tires. Ouch. I made it back to CMC with only five minutes before the next class and I still hadn't done any laundry. I went ahead and skipped the class to do my laundry.

In evening there was a barbecue and afterward I went to the Aiki store and spent too much money; over $70 for a Boulder Aikikai DVD and a t-shirt, and Ushiro Sensei' book on Karate.
