Bicycle Flat Tire

Bad luck. Is it really better than no luck?

I just fixed the flat on my bicycle yesterday and this morning when I was going to use it the tire was flat again!

I guess I'll just have to fix it again and see if there is something that I missed that's making it go flat.

Walked my dogs this morning and sure enough, that little bugger Tyler decided to dig in a hole and not come back with us. After two hours I decided to go get him. I took the bike outside and it was almost impossible to steer (front tire flat, surprise, surprise) and there was Tyler on his way home.

Bicycle & Air Conditioning

Yesterday I fixed the flat tire on my bicycle. Whoever puts the wheels/tires together for WalMart in Casa Grande sure doesn't care if they do it right. The flat was caused because the rubber strip that is supposed to protect the tube from the spoke ends was put in incorrectly, leaving a lot of spoke ends exposed, thereby causing a small hole in the inner tube.

My air conditioner froze up today. My fault, I forgot to check the filter and it was completely blocked by dirt. Had to put up with the heat while I waited for it to thaw. Set a fan blowing on the coils to speed up the thaw or else it would take forever. Just turned the air conditioner back on a few minutes ago and it feels much better already.

Refrigerator

My refrigerator seems to have repaired itself. No more loud noise that sounds like it's trying to launch into orbit.

I bought a tube patch kit for my bicycle but haven't gotten around to taking the wheel off and doing the repair yet. So the front tire is still flat.

I am going to have to take the rear brake on my motorcycle off and take it apart to find out why the brake keeps applying itself when I am riding at 50+mph (sigh).

Good & Bad

The bad news is that yesterday morning I found out the front tire on my motorcycle is flat! And with the battery in my truck already dead that means I had no transportation (my bicycle has a flat tire, too).

The good news is that my cousin brought me a new battery for my truck. So I have transportation again. Also my headache went away.

More bad news, my headache is back this morning.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that my electric bill is double what it was last month. That's more than $100 more than I budgeted for. Well, I guess part of it will be late.

The heat is still with us. This has been the hottest July on record here in the Arizona desert. No wonder my electric bill is so high.

Have fun until I post again in a day or two.
