Did you have Archie along? How did he handle it?
Similar story... I-405, southbound, Renton going past Boeing. Right front tire went flat. Ended up in the split for exit 3. Lift camper off truck to get at spare tire lowering mechanism. Discovered the previous owner changed lug-nuts and the emergency wrench wouldn't fit. Two is one, and one is none, so I grabbed my spare tools...which promptly broke. $196 minimum charge for the tow truck driver to show up and say 'here, use my wrench'.
Our Archie (RIP) was with us, and it was a warm September Saturday. I left DW in the cab with Archie, and the A/C running. His area had to be all disturbed to get at the emergency jack. Last thing I wanted was a flat battery after running the flashers, so they watched while I worked.
In other news... Looks promising to get a new feline friend this weekend. :B Car riding & camper indoctrination will be early classes in his training.

Archie was home with his mom. I was coming home from working on a job for two weeks. This weekend, the Fall Colors Caravan Tour was to be his first excursion in the TC. Instead I get to do The Fall Colors Engine Swap. It'll be fun except for the 3000.00 or so it'll cost with everything.
