The idea of using water to find a leak by air bubbles is a good one. I hadn't even thought to check it yet, but Grandad uses soapy water all the time to check the bead of car tires. We even have a little doggy pool so I can dunk the whole tube at once. I'll be sure to do that, thanks. I happen to have a patch kit that came with a multitool

And just so you know, I am definitely looking forward to getting some skirts and riding in them. I'm a beader and I thought I could make gorgeous sparkly skirt guards instead of crocheted ones. My husband and roommates and I just started P90X and I'm a sewer. I plan to get some patterns after the 90 days and make some awesome clothes to go with my improved physique. It's amazing how simply changing diet will improve your mood and therefore self-esteem. Exercise of course contributes, and I know I'll get to that point soon, this is a restart for my husband and I. We'll make it this time!
