No Big M Today

Went out to hook up the boat this AM, left rear tire was flat. Pulled it and found a 3" nail was the culprit. Tire is about 6 weeks old. Grrrrrr....

Dude that is terrible........

I'll take a flat tire over a wrecked boat any day though. Maybe it was for your benefit in the long term.

Boo on nails. I like J-Docs view.

Worst part was the lug nuts - took everything I had to break those suckers loose. Getting old I guess. But new tire is on, ready to fish.

[J-Doc]

Yeah and now it's 30-40% chance of thunderstorms. Your luck is spreading. :-p

[Quillback]

Well I probably won't get out again until next week, hopefully the storms will be out of here by then.

Sorry to hear that, Jeff. Wish I'd been in the area to help. I have a battery operated Ingersoll Rand impact wrench that would have made very short of those lug nuts. Glad you got it fixed up, but it sucks it cost you a day of fishing.

In the 35 years I lived in MN, I think I had one flat that was "road hazard" related. Since moving to AR 9 years ago, I've had at about 5 or 6. And I used to travel FAR more gravel roads up north (Pheasant hunting) than I do now.

Thanks for the tip on that impact wrench. I'll have to get one, don't think my back could handle another battle with those lug nuts.

Dam sorry to hear Jeff, should have just send me a message I have several impacts you could have borrowed.

Thanks for the offer, F&F, I was able to get them off, but looking towards the future I don't want to have to do it the old fashioned manual way again.
