Tires

The air pressure in my car tires seemed to be getting kind of low the other day, and I needed to get them filled. I had to call someone I know to take care of that for me, because I don't dare do it myself anymore. The last time, or rather the only time that I tried to fill my tires I ended up with a flat tire. I'm not really sure how things went so wrong, but there was air whooshing and I made the erroneous assumption that was the sound of air going in my tire. Turns out the air was going out, and I clearly wasn't competent to handle filling my tires, so I had to call for help. Lesson learned, now I just don't even attempt to mess around with it. I told the person who came to fill my tires the other day this story, to explain why I really am not capable of just doing it on my own. This person requested that I write about it on my blog, maybe so you can all snicker at me. I suspect that there aren't many people out there who can say they've flatted their own tire while trying to fill it. I can.
