First the tire pressure gauge would not work. It kept reading 5. I know the tire had more air in it than 5. So I kept testing. That was mistake number one. Each time air leaked out.
Then I got out my foot pump and hooked it on and tried pumping. It didn't seem to be doing anything so I stopped. At that time my chatty neighbor came by and we, well, chatted. For awhile. I never took the pump off the tire. So the whole time we chatted the air was leaking out. That was mistake number two.
At that point I gave up. Brenda offered to help me tomorrow. Ergh!
We got our first tomato. It is small but it us a tomato. We also had a green one fall off. I also picked some lemons. As you can see everything is tiny. On the West Coast we call it drought size.
Went for a walk with Brenda.
Until tomorrow...
I exploded a bike tire while filling it with air at a gas station when I was 10. My ears rang for hours afterward.
ReplyDeleteScared the you-know-what out of me. Ruined the tire, of course. I never had the courage to try it again.
Sorry, no idea how to fill a bike tire. But persevere, m'friend. I know it can be done! Just not by me. ;o)
I was careful putting the air in the tire. I thought of your story!!
