Tired Tires

It has been a week -- and I realize that we are only into day 3 of this week -- of tire flats. I know that gravel comes with some concessions, but this one has been extremely eventful.

Sunday started with a low tire on my vehicle. I had thought it looked low for awhile, but not that low, right? It had 10 psi in it, whereas the other tires contained 32 psi. So, ok, perhaps it was a bit on the low to flat side. Mr. Fixit pumped it up, and it will be off to be fixed on Friday. In the meantime, we just add a bit of air each day.

Today Mr. Fixit had the tire excitement. He hopped out of his work truck to hear a "sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss." That is never good. Yup, the front driver's tire was practically shooting air out of it. So, the tire was flat in a matter of minutes. Needless to say, that tire will be taken to the repair shop in the a.m.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that all other tires will remain inflated the rest of this week. After all, we have a tire iron by the door, and potentially only 10 more tires could possibly go flat yet this week. That is pretty good odds, right?
