Travel: Bust

This weekend was supposed to be full of travel. I drive to Charleston to see Michael’s family. A side trip on the way home so I could take pictures at New River Gorge. Then a trip to Parkersburg to see JULES!

However, soon after we got on the interstate, we ran over something (kuh-thunk). A bit later, we discovered that when braking, we now heard a vibrating sound from the driver’s side front wheel air. I’m fearing either the disc (more bad) or the pad (less pad) got warped, which would account for the vibrating with braking at interstate speeds, but no noticeable change otherwise.

Regardless, brake problems + highway speeds != safety, so we turned around and came home. Tomorrow we’ll call the shop by our house and see if we can get the car in on Tuesday. (Having only one car means repairs are done at places within walking distance. The only real drawback we’ve found.)

Guess we wanted to spend the long weekend in town relaxing.
