Helping a coworker move went a bit.. Unexpected..

I had an agreement with someone at work, that I would help him move today. 11 am meeting time, but I was there a bit earlier, because I wanted some food and something to drink.

Once that was acquired, off we went to collect the furniture. On the motorway there, a car got our attention by honking. Apparently something was wrong, so we pulled over to see what they were on about. Finding nothing, we started driving again. It was only when we arrived at the location from where my coworker was moving from, that we found out what they were trying to say to us on the motorway - the rear driver side tyre was almost out of air. It was also pretty warm, so we had to change the wheel. I don't know why the tyre was warm, so maybe someone can educate me on that subject.

Anyway.. We managed to change the wheel, after what felt like five hours. In reality, it was only about 45 minutes, but it felt longer. We loaded up the furniture, a whopping THREE cabinets and a TV, and off we went to my coworkers new place. He had found a place in a town close to work for 5000 Danish kroner per month including bills, which was pretty cheap seeing as he has two rooms, instead of just one.

When we were close to the new place, I suddenly got a pretty severe case of flashbacks to back when I was about 8. All the houses looked like the one I grew up in. We're talking the exact same layout, same kitchen and bathroom placement, same garden.. Same everything. The only thing missing was red doors and a shed next to the front door. Otherwise, it looked exactly the same. It was very weird, and I knew where everything was, even if it was my first time in that particular place.

So my day today went from "Oh it's gonna be pretty quick moving these things" to "Wow, I am back in my childhood home AND I have helped changing a flat tyre on a van.."

I have also begun the next stage in my USA trip planning. More on that later

I'd say personal reasons could delay your travel plans....
but such would be hocus pocus.

Seems you're a good friend to have wine

Many houses built with the same plans Phil, that was a common thing here in 50s 60s and 70s houses but now days everyone wants to different..

As for your warm tire well all tires warm up on the road, if the tire is low it warms up faster and hotter;;
I thought you were going to say you guys had an insecure load for a minute Phil, which would have said a lot for what you leaned in the truck game..
The tyre got hot because of the friction. It was pretty warm to the touch, so it was only a matter of time before something went horribly wrong :)
