I got the leak repaired Sunday after church so I could go flying today. We were up early and left for Toledo about eight. We took old Ninety Nine to Barnes Drive, just after we crossed I-5 the left outside dual blew and scattered debris all over the road. I stopped and checked it out, then backed up to a wide spot and pulled off. Vera and a guy who was out for a walk picked up all the stuff that could puncture a tire. Then I was trying to figure out how to get the rest of the tread loose so I could try and get home when a guy Vera knew from working at the library stopped. I explained what the problem was, he got gloves on, pulled a pair of snips out of his truck and cut it off for us. There are sure some nice people around. I put the four ways on and we drove ten miles an hour all the way home. You can sure see the scenery a lot better at that speed. We were home again by nine, I changed into old clothes and started taking things apart. The loose tread beating around inside the wheel well did some damage to the liner and a sewer line.
James stopped by this afternoon, he had spent the night with his friend Levi in Chehalis. Vera had mentioned our adventure so I had to show him all the damage and the blown out tire. We had a nice visit sitting on the lumber by the motor home. Vera fixed us a quick lunch and he headed home to get some rest, I guess Levi keeps his room pretty warm and James didn't sleep good. I did a little more work tearing damaged parts off before calling it a day.
