Well, luck pulled me out again... I was delivering Wednesday night and as I cameout from a delivery, I noticed my rear tire was nearly flat to the ground. Now, for a long time I have carried tire plug kit in the truck, but the tire was flat enough I would not want to drive. It would have flopped off pretty quickly. Now for my luck... I cleaned out the truck bed two days before. I was putzing in the garage and happened to grab the 12v cig lighter tire pump I had picked up at a garage sale who knows when for a quarter and had thrown it in the truck. I plugged the tire and plugged the pump in and it started up and reinflated the tire. Had the same thing happened two days before, I would have been stuck. I know a case can be made that it always pays to be preparred, but the timing was fortuitous. The plugs had always been enough to get me out of trouble forever, but I needed that pump right when I needed it. I should not be gredy, but I wish my luck was in the winning lottery ticket area so I just could have just thrown the truck away and bought a new one.
