I discovered a nail in tire on drive home.
Not a fun way to end my trip report .

I'm partially hopeful that the bartender was excited to be able to make something fun for somebody, rather than pulling yet another draft beer or bar pour
Maybe!
I thought someone who knew better than me would chime in with advice on posting pics. I thought I heard you could do it right on the site but it was limited somehow, and the best way is to host the picture offsite on one of those sites like imgur or whatever I don't even know how to spell it. I use "postimages.org" you make a little free account and upload your pics, and resize them and it gives you a link that you have to cut and paste into your text here. Or actually you don't just paste it here, you click on a little icon that looks like art on the wall and paste the link there. Postimages.org isn't very user friendly which is actually why I like it, it's just dumb and simple. Other people use other sites, imgur.com seems to be popular in the little search I just did.

Okay No opinion about that SoundFreaQ Radio crafted by music lovers My opinion, which I chose not to share but now I am pressed into it, is that good music reproduction can never come from devices like that. However, I am the guy who likes expensive headphones and big speakers. But that said, those little radios and bluetooth speakers can make perfectly enjoyable music that people can enjoy in a bedroom or whatever. And it's 1000 times better than the way most people seem to digest their music - from a cellphone speaker or $10 earbuds. If you used it and you were happy with it, then that's all that counts. |

I drive a Jeep with thick tire tread but that other guy that just drove w/ family first day of trip to discover nail in mini-van with 4 brand new tires from his home town Costco … the PepBoys mechanic pulled a long nail out and immediate sound of air gushing out of tire was alarming and watching the mechanic insert some type of black glue to seal or plug … Hope that doesn’t destroy your tire warranty.
An excellent location for auto problems would be Starling Chevrolet on Orange Blossom Road off 417 toll road.
They service & lease Disney autos including the Mickey Mini-Vans .
And why can’t we have a Trader Joe’s or Costco closer to WDW?
P.S. I am still trying to figure out how to insert photos …
I clicked on edit and found the tiny framed photo icon … what’s the step before Insert image ?

P.S. I am still trying to figure out how to insert photos … I clicked on edit and found the tiny framed photo icon … what’s the step before Insert image ? When you click the framed photo icon, it says "insert image" and it wants a web address, they need to be "hosted" somewhere on the web. People use a handful of places that are free, postimages.org or imgur.com are common. I do postimages but it is very bare bones - you upload your photo and it gives you a web address like "postimages.org/picture.jpg" or whatever, I made that up! Speaking of that black goo in patching holes in tires, I have done that myself many times over the past 30 years and not had problems. Don't know about the ramifications of tire warrantee, however. But the "patch" is classic - a little "$5 for pack of six" black goopy rope-thing that you insert with this giant sewing needing type device and then you twist 90-degrees and pull it out rapidly; the "rope" folds over on itself and the "goop" vulcanizes with the rubber tire and becomes permanent almost instantly. I've had larger ones where I had to insert TWO of the little goopy ropes things into the needle at the same time. That's a chore. Side note: One of the stickiest substances you will ever encounter in normal life. |
