My morning began at 7:15am today when my lady called me to tell me she had a double flat on her car. Now if this was a bike it would be a quick, easy fix and you'd be on your way (provided you had two tubes!), but with a car...the hassle multiplies exponentially. Drive up there. Jack up the front end. Remove the wheel after some knuckle scraping and rim kicking. Look for items sticking out of the tire. Find none. Go to the gas station and air it up. Air is holding. Is this just the work of some neighborhood hoodlum? Go back to the house. Reinstall wheel. Ahh hah! Now I can hear the slow leak. Jack up back end. Remove the wheel. Find a half screw and a piece of nail. Pull them out. Drive to the auto parts store and get two cans of sealant. Come back. Remount wheel. DOH! Use can of sealant. Two small holes plug but the tear in the sidewall that I couldn't see doesn't. Jack up back end again. Remove wheel. Install donut. Put sealant in front tire. Dirve around the block and to the gas station to get the tire and donut properly filled. All of this just goes to show the superiority of the bicycle to the automobile. And yes, I am kidding just a little. Still, in celebration of the bicycle's superiority to the automobile I am leaving now to go for a bike ride. Enjoy the weekend everyone. Watch out for nails and screws. -Kid Posted by Salsa Kid : 3:55 PM 0 comments | permalink  |
