So the major cold front blew in Thursday night. Along with freezing rain and ice and snow. It took me about 20 minutes to defrost and scrape the ice off of the Vue when I left work. And, as I was driving home, the tire pressure indicator light came on. Well, this might be to be expected, as the colder the weather, the lower the air pressure in the tires. However, I could have actually had a flat tire. I pulled off when it was convenient, and check the tires, and there was not a really flat tire. So, I decided to deal with it in the morning.
So, in the morning, I went to a local self service air pressure station, and succeeded in deflating the tire even more. Around the corner was a Firestone store. I used to use them regularly, when I trusted the service manager. When he left, I was never sure if I was being taken advantage of or not, but use them from time to time, most recently, when I needed a flat tire repaired. When I explained my problem, the service manage told me to get in line. The service technician who inflated my tires told me they have had multiple requests per day during the cold weather. This was a free service!
We do not get much free service these days. I wish I trusted these people because it was so nice to use them when the service manager was one I trusted.
