366 MEME - Day 256 - Grrrrrrrrrrr

[debris4spike]

I went out just now to put washer fluid in my car - and am pleased, as I also spotted this -



I have now pumped it up, and am going to leave it 1/2 hour to see whether it will hold, or if I will have to change it before driving the mile up the road to the shop.

Luckily (although I didn't think so at the time), Dad made me change a couple of punctures even before I passed my test. The last time I had to do one was at midnight in the pouring rain - so al least I won't have that if I have to do it today.

At least you are able to change the tire. I'd be standing on the side of the road calling someone to fix it. My back wouldn't let me do it.

Yes, I'm pretty lucky that my back copes with major things like that .... but ask me to sit on a soft seat, and it kills me!

I was mostly worried that I would go to look for the spare, to find it missing!!

Ugh! Bummer! Not the way to greet the day. And your battery was dead too? Yeesh!

[debris4spike]

Oh well, at least there is an advantage to having a uiet day .... and in the end, things can only get better!

[auntiero.livejournal.com]

There is that! At least it's not raining!

Eep! Not good, but you seem to know how to handle it. I would just have stood there looking stupid until some charity found me and took me in.

[debris4spike]

Now I know why you said you would visit - just so I can change a puncture!!!

I can change a wheel if I have to but mostly I stand by te roadside looking helpless and some nice bloke does it for me

[debris4spike]

I have always found that just as I finish the task someone offers to help! I obviously look too tough!

[sarian71]

Oh no, a flat tire! That's never a pleasant surprise.
And you know how to change it. I'm impressed! :)

[debris4spike]

Yes, Dad made me learn while I was having driving lessons. It is handy, as the last time it happened I was out of phone signal, and it was late at night - it did take some time, but at least I don't end up stranded!

Bother!

[debris4spike]

Oh yes!

Ouch.. hope pumping it up helped. And thanks for the reminder, I have to check the wheels of my car on the weekend for the pressure (I had the tires changed/switched from summer to winter tires already.) But they don't look half as bad as yours. Hope you got it fixed.

[debris4spike]

Thanks - I'm back on the road, with a new tyre now.

Not something I have to worry about - we only have "tyres" - not weather dependant ones!
