So I'm around 30 miles west of Needles last Friday when one of my trailer tires blows out. :eek I know I should have had a spare, but I didn't.  Sleek's recent story and CE's signature made me think about it, but not enough to actually do it. :rotflmao  Anyway, I take off the wheel, strap the axle up to the frame and proceed at a reduced pace.  After around 5 miles, HBjet just happens to pass me, but he didn't notice I was missing a wheel.  I call him (thank God for technology) and he agrees to let me use his spare.  So now I am traveling at full speed again and figured it would just take a few minutes to replace the bad tire in Needles.  So right when they are wheeling my tire into the shop, lightning strikes and the power goes out. :eek Not knowing how long it would take for the power to come back on, I hung out for around an hour.  After that, I said shine it and continued on to Havi.  I replaced the tire the next morning AND bought a spare wheel and tire. :good  I went to the CBBB and gave Randy's spare back to him.  I found out then, that the power was still off in Needles for hours after I left.

It all worked out though.

Thanks again HBjet! :good

Yep, got one of those too... but AutoZone wouldn't replace it, fockers.  I sprung for a gel-cel this time though, should last a little longer.   :good

Some tire shop must have been tossing out nails or something...I got a flat about 20 east of Needles Thursday night....yes I carry a spare.
Good to have friends that can help out.

We carry 3 spares.  No joke.  2 for us and one for another poor soul, whomever he/she may be.
