I woke up this morning around 4:30 and get ready for work. I start to leave for work around 5:30. I am suppose to be at work by 6:00. I get into my truck and I notice that the truck is leaning to the right. I get out and sure enough a flat tire on the front passenger side. I realize that I have to change it and it is pitch black outside. I am funbling inside my garage, looking through boxes to find my flashlight. We just moved about a week ago and haven't had a lot of time to unpack. I find my mini-mag light and I use that. I finally finish around 6:40 and leave for work and arrive there at 7:15.

Man, I hate flat tires. I bought a little air compressor for that reason that runs off 12v. Takes about 10 min to refill the tire then off to Discount Tire. Changing one on the side of the road is a PITA...I bet even worse when dark.

Ah well, do drink a few beers and feel better! :laugh:

I would have drank a few but it was 5:30 in the morning. Kinda early for me.

I don't know if I could have made it to Discount Tire that morning because the air was coming out real fast. It must have been a pretty big hole for the air to get out fast. I thought that there might have been a nail in there. We moved into a new subdivions and there is a lot of construction going on so I am pretty sure that is were I got the hole in my tire. Well I went to Discount Tire early Saturday morning and they had to patch it because I had a cut in the tire. It is all fixed now and riding like new!
