Guess who got a flat tire on his way to being tuned? If you guessed me, you win!
Driving through Alexandria on I49, my wheel started turning left while keeping the car straight. I immedately exited & sure enough, the tire was going flat. I checked navi, & the nearest gas station was 2.1 miles away. I rolled there hoping I could rock some fix-a-flat. When I got here, the tire was looming pretty rough, but I decided to hope against hope & put in the stuff. I did that & the tire started to rise, but then I saw the liquid crap leaking on to the ground. I turned the wheel & the side of the tire is toast.
Good news is I have another set of wheels & my girlfriend will be bringing them to me (not going to roll 100+ miles either to BR or back to Shreveport on a spare). The tune has been postponed. Fun stuff.
Bad news, the girlfriend was at her parents' when I called & her dad decided to come. They went back to our apartment to get the other wheels & he asked if she could drop him off at the hospital. He ruptured his Achilles tendon years ago & apparently it occasionally still gives him trouble. I told her to take her time as that's obviously more important. I'm nervous about that as he's not the type to ask for help unless there's really something wrong.

I'm mounting another set of wheels with barely used tires today. Hopefully all will be copacetic for go-round #2.
Thanks again for understanding.
