Good story, stapfam. At least you got a ride in and beat the rain, too. Do you get snow at your home?

Years ago I got a rear flat on my motorcycle and it was about 30 degrees out. Those tires are hard to remove when it's warm and the cold made it harder still. The lever slipped and I punched the sprocket with my knuckles, yeeooww. That day I learned to work on the tire with the sprocket side down.
