We decided to drive to Coburg, Ore today. It was not our best decision.
We had a flat.....We've owned the tracker for 6 years and never had a flat. I tried to call AAA but for some reason the number was not on my phone. bummer....
So, we proceeded to look for the jack...under the passenger seat...then, needed an extender to apply more preassure to get the nuts loose. More rummaging around the back looking for anything to use. Ah...found the instrument to use for disconnecting the tow from the hitch on the RV...it will work.
The bike, bike rack, and the tire cover, come off the spare. Then there is lock on a nut holding the tire on. What key? O, the ignition key. Finally the spare is off the rack Whew, this is work. Now get the flat off.....
About that time a Les Schwab truck drives by, stops and backs up. OUR HERO!!!!.
We determine there is no air in the spare....our hero brings out an air hose and fills the tire. Then he proceed to put the spare on and using his air gun...zaps the nuts on in an instant. WOW
Then in a brief, gee thanks a million, he is off. What a difference he made in our afternoon.
Now, just get the flat tire in the back, breakdown the bike and cram it on top and we are off to Junction City and Les Schwab to have the flat repaired. Sorry...the nail went through the side...tire is no good. O Great...new tire..rotate tires and we are ready to go.
The Lord was looking after us today.
