On Saturday ,January 6, 2018,
I came outside,it was cold,real cold.Had to drive to Airport,pick up friend.Looked at tires on my van,not good.Flat tire in rear.I jumped into my pickup and drove to the airport,1 1/2 hour drive,drove slow,due to a knocking noise in front,passenger side.I assumed (yeah,i know the joke)it was the brake pads wearing out.
  Drove to airport ,picked up friend ,drove friend home.On way home on highway,click - click - click -BANG !  Drove to break down lane.Got out,turned on cell light,seen front wheel bearing busted,tire/rim <snip>eyed...
   Called police,phone died,no charger in truck.Sat in truck,10pm to 11:30pm.Finally a trooper shows up.Wrecker towed truck to home.Huge bill..$140.
if I were drinking,a cop would have showed up within minutes ....
   On Sunday,January 7, 2018,
I called a friend,got a ride,bought new tire for van.$75.Got home,took off flat tire.Put new tire on van.
Took off tire from truck,spindle shot.
  Now I have 2 flat tires,one donut,one good tire..one tire flat a week ago.Tires,tires,tires, tires everywhere !
On Monday,January 8, 2018
I drove van to junkyard ,bought entire front spindle,pads,rotor,bearings,end cap...$100.
  Got home,too cold outside to work on truck.
Later,I decided to play Monday's night Lottery game,Lucky4Life.
  I played #20 (Lucky Ball) for the letter T (Tire)
  I played #19 (Lucky Ball) for the letter S  (Spindle)
  I played #14 (Lucky Ball) for the $140 towing charge
  I played #10 (Lucky Ball) for the $100 spindle cost
       Was pretty sure #20 for Tire would be drawn.....
  Bought a few quick picks.....
                Lucky4Life #'s drawn January 8 2018...
    1-3-15-22-28     LB-15
Talk about Bad Luck !
not 1 number matched !
not even on the 2 quick picks !
    THEN IT HIT ME !   a while back, there was a tornado in Oklahoma,back then, I thought of the tornado as round,round, ROUND! #?
Round like an effing TIRE ! ....the only round letter in the alphabet .....the letter (O).....yeah, the 15th letter !
   Was this an omen?
(1st sign).... flat tire on van....
(2nd sign)worse than flat tire....drove truck....round tire bearing wore out... I staring at <snip>eyed tire....Duh !
(3rd sign)buy new Round tire....
   If anyone has a flat tire,or 2 flat tires, you can play the letter (T) tire,#20.....
also don't forget the letter (O) Round,just like a tire , #15 !
