Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Both the wife and I had Dr’s appointments this morning. Got about a mile from the house and had a flat. Tried a can of fix a flat. Didn’t work. Goo came out the side of the hose. Drove slooowly back to the house (back roads.no problem). Got in the truck and had to take a very long roundabout route due to them closing the road we take that leads from our place to the highway. Then 10 miles down the road they were resurfacing the highway and we sat in line for a long time. Had to push the accelerator a bit to get to town on time. Carol’s appointment went fine. Mine, not so much. Surgery coming up. That put the kibosh on shooting Revenge of Montezuma this weekend and some VFW stuff next week. Now to get the flat fixed in the morning. 35 miles down to Big O tires. Meh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Finally getting that vacectomy Bob? Sorry. Couldn't stop myself. Fix a Flat sucks. Works sometimes but always a pain for the tire guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Good luck with the surgery. Fix-a-Flat? Believe it or not a lot of new cars no longer even come with spare tires, and they just give you a cheap DC-operated pump and a can of glorified Fix-a-Flat in the trunk. When I asked the dealer he said that cars leave out the spare tire now to save weight and increase fuel mileage. Bravo Sierra! It's a cost-cutting measure, and they figure most people use AAA or something like On Star anyway. The first thing I did after buying my car was get a proper spare tire, and it saved my bacon one night right after work when I ran over something that sliced right through my tire.

I do have a spare but as we were running late I tried a quick fix....which turned out to be neither quick nor a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Creek Jack Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I would rather have 50 flat tires than 1 surgery! Hope you have a quick recovery and get back to shooting and changing flats soon! And VERY few flats at that! SCJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
