  • Had a spike in my tire so that delayed us at the coast for an extra day till they could locate a tire to match my other three
  • Didn't pack enough clothes or puppy food for the extended stay, so spent that afternoon driving around with a teeny spare tire and looked for Shiloh's brand of food.
