Regional Game And New Tires

Stacey, Linda and I bought tickets for Cumberland County's Regional Basketball Game for Wednesday night in Diddle Arena at WKU's Bowling Green Campus. We went past and picked up Brent and met Pauline at Puerto Vallarta to eat before the game. After we ate, we headed to the WKU Campus and Brent suggested that we park at Coach Powell's house to save the parking fees for two cars. We parked in their drive and talked with Joey and Coach before walking to Diddle Arena to watch the game.
   
Cumberland County played Franklin Simpson and from the opening tip off to the final buzzer it wasn't a close game. Franklin Simpson had bigger players and more of them than Cumberland County. The game was the same as over early, FS led most of the game by at least 15 points. Late in the fourth quarter CC did pull within nine points at one time, but then time ran out as the gap was getting larger. One good thing about Cumberland County's team is, they are mostly under class men and will have more years to play. Pauline wanted to see their dogs before they left for Louisville the next day, so we left Diddle when the game was over and went to P&Bs to stay the night.

Thursday morning we all were playing with Pico, Poco, and Missy. Brent left for work and Stacey, Linda and I headed into Bowling Green for Stacey's appointment with Dr Zhu. After having a good checkup and talking with the Dr for about thirty minutes we drove through Rally's and picked up some burgers on the way to Sam's Club. We went in Sam's, bought four tires for Linda's Mustang and gave them the keys so they could pull the car inside and mount the tires on the wheels and then put them on the car. We went shopping while they were working on the car. A few minutes later, Linda's name was called over the store's speaker system and we returned to the tire counter to find out that the Mustang had wheel locks. We didn't have any way of taking the locks off, so we searched through the car to try to find the key for the locks. No luck. They refunded our money and we drove over to the Ford Dealer and had a service mechanic take the locking lug nuts off the Mustang. The locks were standard Ford parts, so they had a socket that fit inside the lug nut and removed all four locking lugs in about five minutes. We drove back to Sam's Club and bought the tires again, gave them the keys and went shopping. About an hour later we had checked out and were setting at a picnic table drinking pop, when the guy came over and said the car was done and we could pick up the keys and leave. We loaded our groceries in the car, went by P&B's house, and picked up the dogs. Pauline and Brent had already left for Louisville. The new tires helped the car ride better as we came on home.
