I saw you pulling in when we left, but wasn't sure and figued you'd catch us if you wanted to.

ya, it's like trying to breath through a pair of sweaty socks stuffed in my mouth.

that's disguisting

As a woman and although not necessarily recommended, I would spray the nut with WD-40, wipe out any excess and then wait a bit. Then I would try to loosen the nut. If that did not work, I would ask a muscle guy to try it for me. Only after this would I go to the garage. From my experience, having a flat tire is often an indication that you need new tires.

sounds cheaper than the car shop, but as it's the threads (or something) that need to be loosened, I think putting it on the outside of the nut would just make it slip around?

I'll put Ian to work on this when he gets home and if he can't get it, to Haynes I go. Judy, thanks for the recommendation. I went this evening but they were closing. On the upside of things, I got a homemade cinnamon roll at a bakery in NE to leave for Ian as a breakfast surprise tomorrow. They're his favorite.

you'll at least need it for a spare. I would check if the valve stem is loose. you can buy the tool at any auto parts store. It's pretty cheap. Check for nails in the tire also. Fix a flat works pretty good, but is only temp fix. If there is a nail in the tire, Haynes garage or any garage can fix that for you cheaply. Good luck!

They're good and will help you keep the car going until they tell you something must be done for safety. Haynes Garage, Pine St., NEH...they're in the book, local family operation, have been there forever. They kept my Nova going a long long time.

Leverage is your friend. Get a long piece of pipe and you'll feel like Super Woman.

...if you have a long enough lever, you can turn a left-handed thread into a right-handed one.

who who what what

I love that owl.

You helped me fix a flat the first summer I was here - at Beech Cliff; you and Liddy and Nora had come over to go sailing!

for me the indoors is stability, in a way nothing else is, set the displacement equal to zero and it's easier for me to come out of my head and into my body

and after all day running around outside, being in one place feels so good.

bring it on.
Looks like it's drying out. A quelle heure?

Between 5:30 to 5:45. Hope it is not too late?

I will meet you at your house

Those Tour buses should be banned from the loop road. Things are dangerous and when I hit one which I know I will someday I'm going to get up off the ground and start clawing at the bus. Don't get me started!!! Sorry, I'm tapering.

Great news!!!

I'm psyched for her too. You'd think we could coordinate this better; the rule seems to be that we run while the other is sleeping. But if Anna showed up at six at six, I bet she could stay with Brian, Judson, and Matt the entire way around the lake.
