Wait Wait more drama

Middle of day two and our second $150 fill up of gas for the day, Rick noticed that one of the tires looks low and tries to fill it. His gauge (he carries one I have no idea what is does or how it does it but he knows) says the pressure is way low but when he tries to put air in the tire none is going in because that air gauge shows the tire to be full. Well Rick’s gauge works better than the ones at the station because five miles outside of Indiana we had a blow out. Well the shoulder of Rt. 70 waiting for the tire repair man is as good a place as any to have your dinner break. Now we have a new tire on the RV and a shredded tire on a good rim sitting in our shower stall (it’s a good thing we can’t use it anyway since the door fell off as we were rolling down the road on day one). Let me just say that someone should make an air freshener that smells of burnt tire rubber and oil it is an enchanting aroma and one we get to enjoy all the way home. WOO HOO!!!

Oh no!! Not the tire! I just got back from Tokyo and Hawaii (gone for 3 weeks) and I am just reading your blog.... Be safe especially when hanging your head out the window for fresh air!
