We got out of the house about 3pm today, but had to make an elongated route to Syracuse to drop some stuff off in Camden.  But, just as we were getting to Camden, Marianne remembered we forgot some items that were important. So, we had to return to Rome when we were done in Camden to collect forgotten items…

So, we got back to the house about 4pm, but along the way the low tire pressure light came on, alerting us to a soft tire.  A couple days ago, I had found a couple nails in the driveway, so I was thinking we were headed for a flat tire.  Fortunately, a couple minutes later, the notification light went out, and when we got home, the tires all looked fine.

We open the garage overhead and go to the door to get into the house, and my key will not turn the lock, and neither will Marianne’s!  Must be a pin in the tumbler is stuck or something. Instead, we had to go around to the front door to get in.  Marianne got the forgotten items, and I tried to find some spray to lubricate the lock, but all I could find was carb cleaner, which did nothing…  But, our cat sitter can still get in through the front door, and he will try to get the lock working again while we are away….

You know how people say things come in threes? Well, we are hoping these are our “three problems” for this trip and it will be clear sailing (flying) going forward….
