Flat tire today...

....on my car. I had to drive the damn thing to work to haul some
equipment, and picked up a nail.

Do they make Conti Top Touring 2000's for cars? I've never had a flat
with those!

Be advised that on both occasions that the P+nct+r+ Fairy has visited my
motorcar, it was shold with Continentals...

I visualise trying to change a car tire vs a bike tire, on one leg.
Bike wins.

Did you use a frame pump or an inflator? How many CO2 cartridges toes
a car tire take?



Email address works as is.

It's been great. Beautiful weather, lots of friends out riding around,
stopping by to cook us dinner, bringing me groceries and goodies,
hangin' out. Been not too bad. except for the pain so we take medicine
for that. It helps a good deal.

The x-ray last Thursday (day 12) didn't show any bridging of the bone
yet but I was assured that's not unusual. The leg is finally beginning
to look better instead of worse. The bruising is dissipated. It's
painful to stretch the limits of extension. Leg lifts gimme a
distinctly metallic knee pain. My quads must be about half gone.
Ankle doesn't work very well yet. Hopefully it will when the swelling
goes down. I've got out the word for a stationary bike. One will
manifest when I'm ready for it.

The body's capacity to heal is mucking refarkable. The issue is
passing the time while it does its thing. I'm glad you're keeping
yourself amused.

Any point in taking calcium to remind the bones of just what it is
you're expecting of them? And Vitamins E and C to promote healing.
And Glucosamine to keep the joints in line for the day when their
orders come in??

And are you drinking enough *good* beer to (potentiate the narcotics)?
Trust me on this one...

Take care of yourself....

I dug out my 12-volt tire pump, but it took me a minute to figure out how a
shraeder valve works.

At the gas station, the process of drilling out the nail hole and plugging
it with that ropy stuff made me think that I should have a patch kit in my
car like I do in my bike bag. It was really very fast and easy, and worked
great.

Herbal preparation. Quite primitive, actually. Doesn't leave you numb
or constipated like codeine and is surprisingly effective for managing
pain. Cheap too considering that no matter how hard you try, you just
can't grow Tylenol-3 on your windowsill.

If I started with the peace sign gesture in your in-hospital picture,
then made a couple of quick, baseless, inferential steps from there .
.. . would I be on the right track?

I'm always looking for alternatives....
