Replaced passenger cabin air filter with Microgard brand from O'Reilly Auto Parts in Bennington for $16.95. This brand was the least expensive and it fit tighter than the old product. The old filter was very dirty with stray leaves, and was last replaced in August 2017. It should be on an annual replacement cycle.

Four new tires installed by Town Fair Tire in Keene, NH at a total cost of $339. Note I attempted to buy tires from Town Fair in Rutland on 7/19, but I was being jerked around and the price today was a customer service make-good offered by the corporate office. I have notes about that in my computer customer service file. Note the doughnut tire was driven for a whopping 222 miles.

Front left tire repaired by Walmart in Claremont. They wouldn't fix the rear right tire because it is just at the NH legal wear limit. They said it could keep going, and that I could probably have it repaired in Vermont or repair it myself. They recommended a tire plug kit, and used chalk to mark the leak so I could easily identify it later. The repair of the front left tire was $10, and the repair kit was $2.84 (paid in cash). I did the repair of the back right tire when I got home.
