Daily Log 9
Trying out (probably just temporarily) making short daily-ish notes about things, in an attempt to see if it helps me be more reflective or productive lol.
Activities: Worked on the previously mentioned tapestry style painting thing for like 5-6 hours today (with a few breaks in between), and that's just for the border around the main picture lol.. I think all the little sections and detail always take longer than I think they might. But hopefully the final product will look interesting! :0
I feel like I'm entering another Sick Phase where I just am weird/ill/sleepy/having joint pains much of the day (probably some vitamin deficiencies or hormone imbalances or general bodily inflammation or whatever nonsense seems to randomly pop up from time to time lol), so couldn't focus on anything more intensive like writing or editing videos, unfortunately. It's good to have smaller crafts I can do that don't take much mental effort and are just menial hand tasks (like carving, painting, sculpting, etc.), but I still always feel frustrated falling behind on the things I see as much more broadly significant to my overall life and potential career (making games, writing, finishing videos, socializing, costumes, etc.)
Organized my desk a little. Responded to some doctor emails. Paid bills.
Planned out something I might make with pressed flowers tomorrow.
Edited like 4 costume photos.
Also have a lingering sense of dread due to the weather. The heat often makes me feel terrible, and if I'm already in kind of a Bad Phase at the moment, I'm afraid of it making it even worse... stimky..
Which I know these temperatures are nothing to some people but.. to me... aUGHHHH... I am abnormally heat sensitive + live in a dinky old apartment with no ventilation that gets direct sun the hottest part of the day.. on a 90F day outside, it literally gets about 84F inside.. like.. even people who love the heat I feel like would struggle to sleep at night if their bed is 85F lol... hewwo.. You can spray yourself down with water, drink ice water, put a fan on yourself, etc. etc. but.. sometimes it just feels so oppressive and inescapable..
ANYWAY. Aside from painting, feeling weird, and dreading the upcoming heat/contemplating my entire life and how to get enough money to move to a different climate somehow one day/existential exhaustion/etc., I didn't accomplish very much lol
Spent maybe 30 minutes thinking about a little more worldbuilding stuff, and some things in reference to the game I mentioned resuming work on at some point.
Notable sights: The clouds were really pretty and pastel this afternoon, and some stars are visible in the sky for once since the nights are beginning to be clearer. The 'forget me not' flowers that I thought had died after transplanting actually seemed to be perked up and healthy looking today, and perhaps may actually survive. >:3
Goals moving forward: Do new poll adventure post. focus on social activities, finding new friends in the places I want to move, communicating with the ones I have. Physical therapy exercises. Finish and upload videos, edit costume pictures & etc. Do the new costumes I've planned. MAKE SCULPTURES at some point, I miss them.
Notable foods: Not much, kind of a warm day so didn't really want to use the oven. No idea how I'll handle the diet I've been put on by my doctors (involves usually cooking all food fresh, using the stove a lot, nothing is supposed to be canned or processed or premade, so that eliminates a lot of 'quick easy simple warm weather' meals, etc. etc.) during the heatwave. I might just have to break the diet a little and hope it doesn't give me stomach pains while I'm already hot and feeling sick lol..
I did have a boiled egg with some green onions on top, which is very simple but was refreshing somehow lol. Another ice cold ginger ale treat today, and some cold prune juice (which I know most people find gross/it's an old person food/etc., but I like that it's a smooth textured and not very sweet juice? Like it's slightly thicker than apple juice, has a lightly bitter taste, etc. I just find it nice for some reason. More evidence I am secretly an 85 year old wizard)
#why can't it be global cooling instead of global warming.. what if everything was just ice and I was comfortable and happy all year around#heat also sometimes gives me like a.. mild situational claustrophobia (like not a place that you are confined in/can't escape#but more an environmental factor that's all consuming. Like when there's fires and smoke fills the sky for days and it's like no matter#where you are you could never get away from it unless you're locked inside shut off from the entire world. if you need a breath#of fresh air or are feeling too confined you no longer have the option of going outside. it's all toxic. etc.)#Or like part of why I hate long car rides is for that reason. If I'm 3 hours away from home there is no way for me to get home#other than to ride 3 hours back. If I suddenly decided I really would rather be home I could not get home quickly. the 3 hours#to get home is an inescapable barrier. No matter how sick I started feeling or how bad things are and how much I wish I was comfortable#and safe at home - the only way to get there is to get there. you knowwhat I mean lol? I can't just be home in 20 minutes#it's a 3 hour ride or nothing. etc. etc. Like if you're on a ship in the middle of the ocean and suddenly just desperately decided you need#to be back on land. there isn't anything you can do. nothing will get you back on land but to stay on the ship and travel the hours it take#to get there. there's no quick exit. No way out that isn't doing the thing you already really don't want to be doing anymore (being in a ca#r or being in a ocean or etc. No alternative route but to just suffer the situation longer). idk.. if that makes sense??#so with the heat sometimes it's like.. it's hot INSIDE and it's hot OUTSIDE and it's hot everywhere you go theres no escape#from it and nothing you can do but just.. be hot. no matter how desperate you are to just BE COLD even for a few minutes#you simply don't have the option. The only way to get cool again is to just wait out the hot weather. You can yearn for the feeling of a#cool breeze all you want but abdolutely nothing will get you colder than just to be miserable in place and wait for the passage of time.#I always get that feeling in the summer like after five 90+F degree days in a row you're like AAAAAAAAAA#JUST AN ESCAPE JUST A QUICK ESCAPE DEAR LORD ' and then 5 minutes later like 'hee he. no its fine. haha. im actually so okay#with my situation i am coping.' short bursts of heat induced frantic anxiety with some resigned calm in between ghjgj#ANYWAY. yes every year I complain about the same thing. I am a hater and a complainer first and foremost ggh.. I love to be honest and#express my thoughts and opinions. I think way too many people are so reserved and repress everything for the sake of like social etiquitte#or personal insecurity (like owrrying they're being annoying or talking too much or that novody cares what they say etc.)#and then that ends up causing passive agression and communication issues and resentments that boil under the surface for years because they#re never adequately expressed. I don't think complaining is an inherently negative thing and it's weird to me that people react so#like it's some sort of moral thing to be against it. Like of course within reason. don't complain to the point that you appreciate#none of the good things around you or like where you start bullying people or something. but broadly speaking. being able to express your#concerns and thoughts in small bursts easily and openly and release some of that tension is better than just holding onto it all and having#it come out larger later or making you internally miserable or etc.. ANYWAY.. yeaghh.. hate heat.. hopefully done with painting soon.etc.#daily log

Safely Shipping Tips: How Frequent You Need to Replace a Tire
Understanding when to replace your tires is crucial for maintaining the safety and performance of your vehicle, especially when preparing for transport. While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how often tires need replacement, several factors influence their lifespan.
Mileage is often used as a general guideline for tire replacement. On average, tires last between 25,000 to 50,000 miles. However, this can vary greatly depending on the type of tire, driving conditions, and maintenance practices. High-performance tires, for example, may wear out faster than all-season tires.
Age is another critical factor. Even if a tire hasn’t reached its mileage limit, it may need replacement due to age-related deterioration. Many manufacturers recommend replacing tires that are 6-10 years old, regardless of tread depth. This is because the rubber compounds in tires break down over time, even if the tire isn’t being used.
Tread depth is perhaps the most immediate indicator of when a tire needs replacement. In the United States, tires are legally required to have at least 2/32 inch of tread depth. However, performance begins to decline well before this point, especially in wet conditions. Many experts recommend considering replacement when the tread depth reaches 4/32 inches.
Driving habits and conditions significantly impact tire lifespan. Frequent hard braking, aggressive cornering, and driving on rough roads can accelerate tire wear. Similarly, extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can affect tire longevity.
Proper maintenance can extend tire life. Regular rotation, proper inflation, and wheel alignment can help tires wear more evenly and last longer. Conversely, neglecting these maintenance tasks can lead to premature tire wear and the need for early replacement.
The type of vehicle and how it’s used also play a role. Heavy vehicles put more stress on tires, as does carrying or towing heavy loads. Performance vehicles may require more frequent tire replacements due to the demands placed on the tires.
Visual inspection can reveal signs that a tire needs replacement, regardless of age or mileage. Look for cracks in the sidewall, bulges or blisters on the tire surface, or excessive or uneven tread wear. Any of these conditions warrant immediate attention and possible replacement.
It’s worth noting that tires on the same vehicle may wear at different rates. Front tires on front-wheel-drive vehicles, for example, often wear faster than rear tires. This is why regular rotation is important, and why you may sometimes need to replace tires in pairs or sets rather than individually.
Lastly, consider your driving needs. If you frequently drive in adverse weather conditions or rely on your vehicle for critical transportation, you may want to replace your tires earlier to maintain optimal performance and safety.
Before transporting your vehicle, it’s especially important to assess your tires’ condition. The stress of transport can exacerbate existing tire issues. If your tires are nearing the end of their lifespan, considering replacement before transport can prevent potential problems and give you peace of mind.
Why proper tire pressure matters more than you think—especially when shipping using an open air car shipping! Ever wonder why your car's tires keep losing air? Discover the secret!
Checking Sidewall Tires for Wear and Tear
Examining the sidewalls of your tires is a crucial part of tire maintenance, particularly when preparing your vehicle for transport. The sidewall, which is the outer face of the tire between the tread and the bead, plays a vital role in supporting the weight of your vehicle and maintaining tire shape. Damage or wear in this area can compromise the tire’s structural integrity and potentially lead to tire failure.
Start your inspection by cleaning the sidewalls. A damp cloth can help remove dirt and grime, making it easier to spot any issues. Once clean, visually inspect the entire sidewall, looking for any abnormalities.
One of the most common issues to look for is cracking. Small cracks in the sidewall, often referred to as weather checking or ozone cracking, can occur due to exposure to the elements over time. While minor cracking may not require immediate action, deep or extensive cracking is a sign that the tire needs replacement.
Bulges or blisters on the sidewall are serious red flags. These protrusions indicate that the internal structure of the tire has been compromised, often due to impact damage. A tire with a bulge or blister is at high risk of sudden failure and should be replaced immediately.
Look for any cuts or gouges in the sidewall. Even if these don’t penetrate all the way through the rubber, they can weaken the tire’s structure. Deep cuts that expose the tire’s internal components require immediate tire replacement.
Pay attention to any signs of scuffing or excessive abrasion on the sidewall. This can occur from rubbing against curbs and can weaken the tire over time. While minor scuff marks may not be cause for concern, deep or extensive abrasion may necessitate replacement.
Examine the area where the sidewall meets the tread. Any separation in this area, often visible as a bulge or distortion, indicates internal damage and requires immediate replacement.
Check for any signs of dry rot, which appears as a fine network of small cracks covering a large area of the sidewall. This is often due to age or prolonged exposure to sunlight and ozone. Tires showing signs of dry rot should be replaced, even if they still have adequate tread depth.
Look for any discoloration or fading on the sidewall. While this doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem, it can be a sign of age or exposure to harsh conditions, which might warrant a closer inspection of the tire’s overall condition.
Don’t forget to check both the outer and inner sidewalls of each tire. The inner sidewall can sometimes sustain damage that’s not immediately visible from the outside of the vehicle.
Pay attention to any unusual wear patterns on the edge of the sidewall where it meets the tread. Excessive wear in this area can indicate alignment issues or chronic under-inflation.
Lastly, take note of any objects lodged in the sidewall. While it’s more common to find puncturing objects in the tread, occasionally they can become embedded in the sidewall. Unlike tread punctures, sidewall damage generally cannot be repaired safely, and the tire will need to be replaced.
Remember, the sidewall is a critical component of your tire’s structure. Any significant damage or wear in this area is cause for concern, especially when preparing for vehicle transport. If you’re unsure about the condition of your tire sidewalls, it’s best to consult with a professional tire technician for a thorough inspection and advice.
Don’t let flat tires derail your shipping plans. Inflate to the right pressure now!

Maintaining Tire Traction for Safely Shipping
Evaluating tread depth is a crucial step in assessing the overall condition and safety of your tires, especially when preparing your car for shipping with Florida car transport companies. Proper tread depth is essential for maintaining traction, particularly in wet conditions, and for overall vehicle handling and performance.
The most common and straightforward method to measure tread depth is the penny test. Here’s how to perform it:
Take a penny and insert it into the tread groove with Lincoln’s head upside down and facing you.
If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, your tread depth is less than 2/32 inches, and it’s time to replace the tire.
Repeat this test at several points around the tire, as wear may not be uniform.
While the penny test is a quick and easy method, for more precise measurements, you can use a tread depth gauge. These tools are inexpensive and provide an exact measurement of your tread depth. Here’s how to use one:
Place the base plate of the gauge across the tread.
Push the probe down into the tread groove until the base plate is flush with the tread.
Read the measurement on the gauge.
In the United States, tires are considered legally worn out when they reach 2/32 inches of remaining tread depth. However, tire performance, especially in wet conditions, begins to decline well before this point. Many experts recommend considering replacement when the tread depth reaches 4/32 inches.
When evaluating tread depth, be sure to check multiple points across the tire’s width and around its circumference. Uneven wear can indicate other issues such as misalignment or improper inflation.
Pay special attention to any tread wear indicators. These are raised sections of rubber at the bottom of the tread grooves. When the tread has worn down to the level of these indicators, it’s time to replace the tire.
For winter tires, the recommended minimum tread depth is typically higher – around 6/32 inch – to maintain effective performance in snow and slush.
Remember that tread wear can vary between tires on the same vehicle. The front tires on a front-wheel-drive vehicle, for example, often wear faster than the rear tires. If you find significant differences in tread depth between tires, consider having your tires rotated or replaced as needed before transport.
Lastly, don’t forget to check the spare tire if your vehicle has one. Even if it hasn’t been used, spare tires can degrade over time and may need replacement.
Proper evaluation of tread depth is not just about meeting legal requirements – it’s about maintaining the safety and performance of your vehicle during transport and beyond.
Signs of Uneven Wear and Tear on Tires
Uneven wear and tear on tires can indicate various issues with your vehicle or tire maintenance practices. Identifying these signs early can help prevent more serious problems and extend the life of your tires. Here are some common patterns of uneven wear to look out for:
Center Wear: If the center of your tire tread is more worn than the outer edges, your tires are likely overinflated. Over-inflation causes the center of the tire to bear more of the vehicle’s weight, leading to faster wear in this area. Regularly check and adjust your tire pressure to the manufacturer’s recommended levels.
Edge Wear: Conversely, if the outer edges of your tire are more worn than the center, your tires are probably under-inflated. Under-inflation causes the tire’s edges to bear more weight, leading to increased wear on the sides. This condition can also generate excess heat, potentially leading to tire failure.
One-Sided Wear: If one side of your tire tread is wearing faster than the other, it could indicate an alignment problem. Misaligned wheels cause tires to drag instead of rolling freely, leading to uneven wear. This issue requires professional alignment service to correct.
Cupping or Scalloping: This appears as dips or scalloped patterns around the tire’s circumference. It can be caused by worn suspension components, improper balance, or misalignment. If you notice this pattern, have your suspension and wheel balance checked by a professional.
Feathering: This occurs when the tread ribs are smooth on one side and sharp on the other. It’s often the result of improper toe alignment, where the wheels are not pointing straight ahead. This requires a professional alignment to correct.
Flat Spots: These appear as unusually smooth or flat areas on the tire and are often caused by sudden, hard braking that locks the wheels. They can also develop if a vehicle is parked for an extended period without movement. Minor flat spots may work themselves out with driving, but severe cases may require tire replacement.
Heel/Toe Wear: This pattern appears as saw-tooth wear across the tread blocks and is often more easily felt than seen. It’s a normal result of the tire design but can be exacerbated by lack of rotation. Regular tire rotations can help prevent this type of wear from becoming severe.
Sidewall Wear: Any signs of wear on the sidewall of the tire are cause for immediate concern. This can indicate that the wheels are out of alignment to a severe degree, or that the vehicle has been driven with extremely underinflated tires. Sidewall damage can compromise the structural integrity of the tire and may require immediate replacement.
Remember, uneven wear not only shortens the life of your tires but can also affect your vehicle’s handling, fuel efficiency, and safety. If you notice any of these wear patterns, especially before transporting your vehicle, it’s advisable to have your tires inspected by a professional. They can determine the cause of the uneven wear and recommend appropriate corrective actions, whether that’s a simple tire rotation, a wheel alignment, or replacement of worn components.

Inflating Car Tires to Manufacturer’s Recommendations
Inflating your car tires to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure is a critical step in maintaining your vehicle, especially before transport. The correct tire pressure contributes to optimal car performance, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity.
Properly inflating your car tires according to the manufacturer’s recommendations is important when preparing for shipping with shipping companies New Jersey. This will guarantee safety and maintain tire integrity during transport. Always check the recommended tire pressure before shipping your vehicle to avoid any issues on arrival.
To begin, locate the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. This information is typically found in several places:
The driver’s side door jamb
The glove compartment
The fuel filler door
The vehicle owner’s manual
It’s important to note that the pressure listed on the tire sidewall is the maximum pressure the tire can hold, not the recommended pressure for your specific vehicle.
Once you’ve identified the correct pressure, you’ll need an air compressor. Many gas stations offer air compressors, or you can invest in a portable one for home use. Before inflating, remove the valve cap from the tire and attach the air compressor nozzle to the valve stem.
If your tires are underinflated, add air in short bursts, checking the pressure with your gauge between each burst. It’s easy to overinflate, so proceed slowly. If you accidentally overinflate, you can release air by pressing the small pin in the center of the valve stem with the back of the air gauge or a small tool.
For tires that are overinflated, simply press on the pin in the valve stem to release air until you reach the correct pressure.
Remember to replace the valve cap after you’ve finished inflating each tire. The cap helps keep out dirt and moisture, which can affect tire pressure over time.
It’s worth noting that tire pressure can fluctuate with temperature changes. For every 10°F change in ambient temperature, tire pressure can change by about 1 PSI. Generally, tire pressure increases in warm weather and decreases in cold weather. This is why it’s important to check your tire pressure regularly, especially with seasonal changes.
Lastly, don’t forget to check and inflate your spare tire if your vehicle has one. It’s easy to overlook, but a properly inflated spare can be a lifesaver in emergency situations.
Inspecting for Car Tire Leaks or Damage
Inspecting your car tires for leaks or damage is a crucial step in maintaining your vehicle’s safety and performance, particularly before transporting your car. Regular inspections can help you identify potential issues before they become serious problems.
Start by visually examining each tire, including the spare. Look for any obvious signs of damage such as cuts, cracks, or bulges in the sidewall. These can be indicators of internal tire damage and may require immediate replacement.
Pay close attention to the tread area. Look for any foreign objects that may have become embedded in the tire, such as nails, screws, or pieces of glass. These objects can cause slow leaks that may not be immediately noticeable but can lead to significant problems over time.
Check for any uneven wear patterns on the tread. This could indicate alignment issues, improper inflation, or other mechanical problems that need to be addressed. Uneven wear can compromise the tire’s performance and safety, especially during transport.
If you suspect a slow leak, you can use a mixture of water and dish soap to help locate it. Apply this mixture to the tire, paying special attention to the valve stem and the area where the tire meets the rim. If you see bubbles forming, you’ve found your leak.
Listen for any hissing sounds when examining your tires. This could indicate a puncture or a leaky valve stem. If you hear a hissing sound, try to locate the source immediately.
Feel for any vibrations or wobbling while driving. These sensations can be signs of tire damage or imbalance. If you notice any unusual vibrations, have your tires professionally inspected before transport.
Check the age of your tires. Even if they appear to be in good condition, tires that are more than six years old may need to be replaced. You can find the manufacture date on the sidewall of the tire.
Lastly, monitor your tire pressure over time. If you notice that one tire consistently loses pressure faster than the others, it likely has a slow leak that needs to be addressed.
Remember, if you’re unsure about the condition of your tires or if you find any concerning issues, it’s best to consult with a professional tire technician. They can provide a thorough inspection and advise on whether repair or replacement is necessary before your car is transported.
Tire Tread for Car Shipping Preparation
Inspecting your tire tread is a critical aspect of tire maintenance, particularly when preparing your car for open air car shipping. The tread is the part of the tire that makes direct contact with the road surface, providing traction and helping to channel water away from the tire’s path. Adequate tread depth is essential for safe driving and optimal vehicle performance.
Begin your inspection by visually examining the tread across the entire width of each tire. Look for signs of uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or improper inflation. Uneven wear patterns might appear as more wear on the inside or outside edges of the tire, or as bald spots in certain areas.
Pay attention to any visible damage in the tread area. This could include cuts, cracks, or foreign objects embedded in the rubber. Even small pieces of debris can work their way deeper into the tire over time, potentially causing a puncture or leak.
Check for any signs of feathering – a condition where the tread ribs are smooth on one side and sharp on the other. This is often a sign of misalignment and should be addressed before transport to prevent further damage.
Look for any flat spots on the tire. These can occur if the vehicle has been parked for an extended period without movement. While minor flat spots may work themselves out with driving, significant flat spots can cause vibrations and may require tire replacement.
Examine the tread wear bars. These are small, raised bars of rubber that run perpendicular to the tread pattern. When the tread has worn down to the level of these bars, it’s time to replace the tire. If you can see these bars clearly, your tires are likely worn beyond safe limits.
Be aware of any cupping or scalloping in the tread. This appears as a series of high and low spots around the tire and can indicate worn suspension components or balance issues.
Check for any separation in the tread. This can appear as gaps or cracks between tread blocks and is a serious condition that requires immediate tire replacement.
Lastly, look for any bulges or blisters on the tread surface. These can indicate internal damage to the tire and are a sign that the tire needs to be replaced immediately.
Remember, proper tread depth is not just about safety – it’s also about performance. Good tread depth helps maintain proper traction, improves handling, and aids in water dispersion to prevent hydroplaning. Before transporting your vehicle, it’s crucial to address any tread issues to protect your car during transit.

Car Tire Maintenance Before Transporting Your Car with Car Carrier Service
Proper car tire maintenance is critical to vehicle care, especially when preparing for transport using auto transporter California services. Neglecting tire care can lead to potential issues during transit, compromising the safety and condition of your vehicle. This comprehensive guide will walk you through essential tire maintenance steps before entrusting your car to a transport service.
Importance of Tire Maintenance
Tire maintenance plays a pivotal role in your vehicle's overall health and performance. When it comes to car transport, well-maintained tires contribute significantly to the safety and efficiency of the process. Properly inflated and maintained tires reduce the risk of blowouts, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance the overall stability of the vehicle during transport.
Moreover, good tire condition can prevent unnecessary wear and tear on other parts of your vehicle, such as the suspension and braking systems. This is particularly important during transport, as your car may be subjected to various road conditions and weather elements.
By prioritizing tire maintenance before car transport, you’re not only protecting your car but also facilitating a smoother, safer journey for your car and the transport company. Let’s delve into the specific aspects of tire maintenance that demand your attention before handing over your car to the best car transporter rental.
The Impact of Tire Maintenance on Safe and Efficient Vehicle Transport
Proper tire maintenance is a cornerstone of safe and efficient vehicle transport. When preparing your car for shipment using a fully insured car carrier service, the condition of your tires can significantly influence the outcome of the transport process.
Well-maintained tires provide stability during loading and unloading procedures. These processes often involve driving the vehicle onto ramps or platforms, where proper tire traction is essential. Tires with adequate tread depth and correct inflation offer optimal grip, reducing the risk of slippage or accidents during these critical moments.
During transit, your vehicle may encounter a variety of road conditions. Properly maintained tires are better equipped to handle these variations, minimizing the risk of damage to your car. For instance, tires with the correct pressure distribute the vehicle’s weight evenly, reducing stress on the suspension system and preventing potential damage from road vibrations or sudden impacts.
Furthermore, good tire condition contributes to the overall balance of your vehicle. This is particularly important when your car is secured on a multi-level carrier. Properly inflated tires help maintain the vehicle’s intended ride height, allowing for secure and stable positioning on the transport truck.
In the event of unexpected situations during transport, such as emergency maneuvers or sudden stops, well-maintained tires can play a crucial role in preventing accidents. They provide the necessary traction and stability that could make the difference between a safe journey and potential damage or delays.
Lastly, presenting a vehicle with well-maintained tires to the transport company demonstrates your commitment to vehicle care. This can foster a positive relationship with the carrier, potentially leading to more attentive handling of your vehicle throughout the transport process.
Check Tire Pressure for Safe Shipping
Checking tire pressure is a fundamental aspect of tire maintenance that every car owner should master. Proper tire pressure is not only crucial for the safety and performance of your vehicle during regular use, but it’s especially important when preparing your car for transport.
To begin, you’ll need to know the recommended tire pressure for your specific vehicle. This information can typically be found in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or on a placard located on the driver’s side door jamb. It’s important to note that the recommended pressure can vary between front and rear tires, so be sure to check the specifications for each.
The best time to check tire pressure is when the tires are “cold,” meaning the car hasn’t been driven for at least three hours. This is because driving heats up the tires, causing the air inside to expand and potentially giving an inaccurate reading.
To check the pressure, remove the valve cap from the tire’s valve stem. Press the tire gauge firmly onto the valve stem. You should hear a brief hiss of air. If you continue to hear air escaping, the gauge isn’t seated properly, and you’ll need to try again.
Read the pressure displayed on the gauge. Compare this to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. If the pressure is too low, you’ll need to add air. If it’s too high, you’ll need to release some air.
When adding air, do so in short bursts, checking the pressure after each. It’s easy to overinflate, so take your time. If you need to release air, press the gauge onto the valve stem just enough to hear air escaping, then check the pressure again.
Remember to check all four tires, including the spare if your vehicle has one. Even if only one tire looks low, it’s best to check them all as tires can lose pressure slowly over time.
Using a Reliable Pressure Gauge
A reliable pressure gauge is an indispensable tool for maintaining proper tire pressure. There are several types of tire pressure gauges available, each with its own advantages and considerations.
The most common types are stick gauges, digital gauges, and dial gauges. Stick gauges are compact and affordable, making them a popular choice for many car owners. They work by pushing a small bar out of the end when pressed against the tire valve, with the pressure reading indicated by markings on the bar.
Digital gauges offer precise readings and are easy to read, especially in low-light conditions. They typically provide readings in multiple units (PSI, kPa, Bar) and some models include additional features like a backlit display or the ability to store readings for multiple tires.
Dial gauges, also known as analog gauges, feature a clock-like face with a needle that points to the pressure reading. These gauges are often considered more durable than digital models and don’t require batteries. However, they can be bulkier and may be more difficult to read accurately.
When selecting a pressure gauge, consider factors such as accuracy, durability, and ease of use. Look for gauges that are certified by a recognized standards organization, as these are likely to provide more accurate readings.
It’s important to note that even high-quality gauges can become less accurate over time. To maintain accuracy, store your gauge properly (away from extreme temperatures and protected from impacts) and consider having it calibrated periodically, especially if you use it frequently.
When using your gauge, make sure to press it firmly against the valve stem to create a good seal. A proper seal is essential for an accurate reading. If you hear a hissing sound, that means air is escaping and you’ll need to reposition the gauge.
Remember, consistency is key when it comes to tire pressure. Try to use the same gauge each time you check your tires, as different gauges may give slightly different readings. This will help you track changes in tire pressure more accurately over time.

Humans entering space and realizing we are so small. We are mice compared to these giant races with their advanced machinery and technologies and experiences beyond us- except that we're humans. And our engineers dive into the new tech and once we learn the principles we also soon realize how Inefficient everything is. Their "microchips" are the size of cars, their storage drives are basically buildings, and they somehow store less data than ours. So, human companies take advantage, and tech starts rolling out. Massive and there's a lot of wasted space so that it can be managed with larger hands/pincers/claws/tentacles, but also so much more efficient than anything the galaxy has seen before.
Human technicians start hopping ships and upkeeping the general maintenance, the stuff that most aliens put off or don't notice because they never access the crevices of their ships. As human companies become more popular and lead the tech world in everything from warp cores to game stations ("it's so compact! How are the graphics so good?" Says a 60' tall grimbleback, holding a new VR headset that has all of its components included because it's so BIG by our tech standards), soon many things have accessibility ports for humans to be able to use as well. This means that these shiprats hoping ship to ship cause such a huge improvement in everything running smoothly, and there's a huge downtick in pests on ships because those "pests" are not only big enough and aggressive enough to bite a pitbull or a person in half, they're invasive to so many planets and humans hate nothing more than dog killing planet overrunning monsters.
All the while, from the Aliens perspective, humans are an elusive race that don't fraternize much with them. You almost never see a human as most places aren't exactly safe for the little things to run around in. They do export so much stuff though, and the custodial staff at the Central Galactic Outpost insists that there's more humans around than any other race if you just know where to look.
And sure it's somewhat known that some of the little daredevils hop ships and help out in exchange for room and board, usually without permission, but that can't be that common, can it?
Maybe your ship is running better this cycle ever since you stopped at the last station, that just means that tuneup was better than you thought. And maybe for some reason that program you were working on last night is finished when you wake up, but you're so tired maybe you finished it before you passed out. Somehow that faulty light in the galley has fixed itself as well, which is odd, but maybe the Engineer finally got to it. You'd know if there was someone else on your ship.
Right?
... You leave a little bowl of berries out as a thank you, just in case. You're not sure what humans like but you've heard they have a sweet tooth.
