when you hear the glass crunch under your tire, don't hear it roll around a second time, and don't get a flat

My son is nearly ready to start driving, one of the things my kids have to be able to do to before driving is be able to change a flat.


My daughter 5 years ago She's now a Sophomore at Denison. Time flies.

Well done sir. I hope hooking up jumper cables the proper safe way is on that list too! I find myself teaching kids and adults this too often because I can't bear to watch someone do it unsafe. Seeing a car battery blow up is pretty traumatic. Lol.

So...better days are when...


My health allows me to ride the bike...OUTDOORS! I was able to do 20 miles (two 10 milers) outside for the first time in about a year this weekend...and loved it...was totally disappointed when it rained all day yesterday...as I was hoping for another 10 miler! But...I should get one in this week!
Holy crap man, that is a good day! Glad you got back on the road.

"Everyday is a good day, some are better...how do we make today a better day?"
