Help!

I got a call from Bev Monday night, a chunk of the left inside dual had come off.  After talking about it, we decided that if she took it slow she could probably make her place OK.  She did and Tuesday afternoon we met her at a Les Schwab where they were changing the tire.  It turned out that the tire they had was the wrong size, so they buttoned it back up.  We headed slowly home but on the 205 bridge, the tire really came apart, it was pretty noisy for a few seconds!  I slowed way down and we managed to get off the bridge and into the Mill Plain Fred Meyer parking lot.  I put in a call to AAA and they started looking for service, but had no luck.
While we were waiting the sunset was really nice and Vera wanted a picture of it.  Then they couldn't find a tow either, I have 200 mile towing!  After a couple of hours I checked and it was OK to leave it at Fred Meyer for the night, so I told AAA I was leaving it and would come back tomorrow.  I had been texting with Michelle about that time and she volunteered to come pick us up.  James came along also and we had a great visit on the way home.  I did some checking online after we got home and found a tire place that listed 16.5 inch tires.  We pulled up just as they opened the door Wednesday morning and got the last one they had in stock.  I had also located a Les Schwab a block from where we were parked.  I drove the motor home over there, they mounted and balanced the tire and we were on our way home by 9:30 AM!
