On Sunday I was taking Corey home and got a flat tire near his house. “No problem”, I thought. I’d been smart and checked that the jack, wrench and everything was in the car when I bought it. Unfortunately I neglected to check that the spare actually had air in it. To make matters worse, I found out that the lug wrench that came with the car doesn’t fit inside the lug nut holes of the aftermarket wheels that are on it. BAH! It all worked out eventually with some greatly appreciated help from Corey’s stepdad.

And so… yesterday morning I drove the car, with it’s teeny little spare, up to Kauffman Tire. I took the bike with me, and rode it back home. It’s just less than 3 miles, and mostly downhill. Yesterday afternoon, I rode the bike back – 3miles and mostly uphill. Meh. I need to do more.

On a completely unrelated note, I finally got fed up with the heat being an excuse for not getting outside. This weekend I AM going hiking, or camping. If it’s hiking then I also want to get back to a Wheelhopper Hash. It’s been about 3 years, and the last hash I was at was my naming, they probably think that’s what ran me off. I blame buying the motorcycle and general laziness.

And now a random picture that I saw on someone’s blog…

hint:  think of it as a Bug,  not a Beetle.  and it’s a geek joke,  so you may not understand it.
