(written on the 20th/21st) I think I mentioned something about expecting police to kick me out of my parking spot?

We had a decent night at the Maverick parking lot, our second stint at a Maverick parking lot. Thank you, Maverick. I called the junkyard first thing in the morning after they opened, and he said they did indeed have what we needed, a rim and wheel studs, so we headed on down the highway. … Continue reading 2024-09-11 (Wednesday) — Hell and Heaven

(written on the 12th) My back was a heck of a lot better this morning in comparison to yesterday morning, having not used that leg support thingy that's specifically supposed to help back issues. 😅 So that'll probably get donated to the DI when we get to Utah.
