Where we went over budget

Oh, state inspection.  Our van was due to be the money-hog this time.  Four brand new tires, and what happens within the week?  That's right, a nail in a brand-new tire.  $500ish dollars later, and here we are, over budget in our auto repair.  At least it's tax time, and we'll be getting our chunk of change from Uncle Sam.
