I know you all have got to be getting tired of hearing about my flat tires. But trust me, you are no more tired of them than I am!
I had planned a longer day today since I was making time finally yesterday, Well that is what I get for planning. I will not be doing that any more.
I took off this morning in Central Time Zone. That in it's self was a change for me. But I was out the door before 0800. Now I am watching the sky, since they are calling for a GOOD chance for rain today but it looks to me like it could just skirt the Hwy 90 border. I figure Gods been watching me pretty good, I should be ok. I was going at a pretty good clip and at exactly 5 miles the rear tire goes flat. So much for staying clean. I even remembered to use the anti puncture inserts. It only took me about 45 minutes to get it done and back on the road.
So I am at it again. Pumping out the miles, enjoying the scenery and starting to think about stopping at the next fast food joint. I have figured out that I should never be hungry, that is when I have flats!
It was right at the 30 mile mark. No kidding!
Lucky for me it just happened to be right across from the Holmes County Roads Department. Rodger Williams and the rest of the crew there were wonderful! They went above and beyond fixing my tire and patching the old tubes for me. They even warned me about the road ahead.
They weren't kidding either. There were some killer hills ahead for me.
Rodger suggest I stop here in DeFuniack. Thank goodness I listened, the rain started just as I found a room.
I still need to check on my breaks. They are dragging, some of the time. Time for some you-tube.
