That spare tire
When's the last time you checked and topped off the air pressure on your spare tire? I was giving my little beast the complete once over, and topped off all four tires to the specified pressure, then checked all 4 tires treads for wear. I may have loaded a little unevenly, or that 2 lane road trip I took through desert in heavily decked roads that flash flood easily may have started an uneven wear pattern on one of my tires, so I was thinking about swapping in the spare tire instead.
That got me thinking, It has been a couple of years since I checked the air pressure on my spare tire. Glad I checked it... I only need 105 strokes on the bicycle tire pump to get it up to the proper pressure, a work out I needed.
Check your spare tire and measure the pressure on it before heading out on that big trip, you never know when you might need it. Don't be a neglectful ding dong deserving of a dope slap, like I was.
Yes I own an air compressor and hose, and yes the generator would hve worked with it too. Sometimes I like to do things the old fashioned way, for the exercise.
