Oh JOY. It's one of those "There seems to be something stuck in my tire" mornings.
It is currently "Spring Cleaning Days" on my town, which means the residents put every kind of crap you can imagine curbside and the city picks it up free.
This means nails, screws, broken glass, all kinds of stuff.
This morning...and I DO NOT KNOW WHY...I had a compulsion to go out and look at my car.
"Looks OK to me."
Turned around and started to go back in and I thought "Look again."
Walked over to the passenger side.
"STILL looks OK."
Walked back to the house and thought "NOPE. Go take another look."
For reasons unknown to me, I walked to the back passenger tire and saw a 1/4 piece of thin metal stuck in the tread. No idea what it is, how big or how deep it goes.
If the universe is on my side it didn't puncture the tread. If it's not, approximately 25% of a very small client check I am expecting in the mail is going to go toward repairing the tire.
Always something. Happy Hump Day.

Just saying 
...the last time this happened, around six months ago, I had a threaded bold go into the tire that was so big the hole couldn;t be patched. Luckily I found a used tire that was the exact make and model with...believe it or not...the same amount of tread wear as my other three tires.
So this time I have my fingers crossed for taking it in, having them pull it, saying "it didn't go through," and then I just go back to work.
Like I said, walking out and inspecting the car is not something i do on a seven day a week basis.
