Last Monday was a day I’d rather forget. Nothing serious mind you but…. those who know me know that I’m pretty meticulous about keeping my car serviced and ready for most things that can go wrong.

I awoke to a flat tire. No problem. I keep an air pump / battery jumper combo in the back. No dice. The air pump was pumping air everywhere but none in my flat tire. Ok, time to pull out the spare. I took the spare out and: it was flat. Ok. I had to get a ride to buy a new pump. I got the new pump. Filled the spare tire up and the new pump overheated….. I had enough air to get it to my Costco tire center.

A few too many hours later, everything was repaired and I had a new air pump / jumper combo (buy it at Costco; it’s cheaper).
