Travel Woes

What is life without adventure, right? I suppose sometimes a little can go a long way, as we just found out on our return trip when we got a flat tire. I think I hit a small piece of board with a nail in it or something, but it definitely punctured the tire. Our poor tire didn't stand a chance.

Thankfully it happened right before we had planned to stop anyway.

After an incredibly frustrating hour of getting out the spare and messing with the (el cheapo) jack that came with the truck (to no avail - that thing couldn't hold a feather if it were tied to it), we gave up and Tory called a nearby garage.

Although they said they'd be out to help us in an hour, the guy showed up after only about 20 minutes - win! He had the old tire off and the new one on in 10, all with a friendly Texas smile on his face.

Moral of the story: if you ever have a flat tire outside of Snyder, TX, Nix's Auto & Tire Services is the place to call.

And don't run over sticks.
