For the past 2 weeks, the low tire pressure light has been on in my van. Brian and Daddy have both aired up my tire until Brian was able to pull the screw out and put a plug in. Well, Brian put a plug in the tire yesterday. He went out last night to make sure it held and double checked again before he left for work this morning. I drove the kids to school this morning with out any problems. I left at 11 for an appt and there sat my van with an extremely flat tire.
SO, we had new tires put on the van. They were all in pretty bad shape. Needless to say, we will be tightening the old purse strings again this week.
I hope your week is running a bit smoother!

Our rather old van managed to blow both the air compressor on the air conditioner and the serpentine belt this week. Sigh.

OUCH! Maybe, since it’s the ‘off season’ for air compressor popularity, you’ll be able to get a good deal on the repair.
My van has a belt that is squeaking, and DH is worried it may be the serpentine belt. My van is over 180K on mileage, which means it’s time to replace the belt. BUT, my bank acct strongly disagrees!
