On bald tires

Scary moment. We've had a slow steady rain since about 6pm, and when I went out tonight in my truck, I was hydroplaning a bit. I knew my tires were low on tread, but I didn't think they were too bad.

Well, when driving home from my vball game (luckily on a residential road after 10:15pm without anyone else around), I hydroplaned a bit worse than before, spun completely around, and wound up half off the road. Thankfully, I didn't flip, didn't hit anything, and was able to just drive away unhurt.

Tomorrow, I start shopping around for new tires.
