Start my weekend- wife came in around 1400 said she had 2 flat tires. To her that means she needs new tires. I said i would pump them up and take up the road and get them repaired. So i limped it down the hill to the hay shed where the Air Compressor resides. It is just a small Milwakie brand, for nailers etc. but will inflate tires if need too. Found the extension cord that at been removed and relocated. Powered it up and turned it on. It cycled thru first fill abd shut off as it should. I found the proper implement to fill a tire attached it to hose. You know the cute little coiled up plastic ones. I gave it a tug to use it. When snap and the tank began draining. So shut it off and dug around in back of jeep and found wrenches and began stripping the connectors from the broken hose. I swear i replaced this one 2 summers ago. When i built the chicken house. Of course my air nailer blew it seal shortly after that and i since went to cordless crown and finish nailers. Back to the flat tires. It gets dark about 1630 around here this time of year. It is now 15:00, so i drive 5 miles up road to auto part store. Picked up a better quality hose, one fitting. Drive home and i begin repairs. First i assembled the ends on new hose and started compressor again. It finished cycling about same time i finished putting hose ends on. I then tried to snap the male end back in to the female connector on the compressor. It will not snap back to lock. I fussed with it and tried WD40, realizing here duct tape will not fix this. I remove it and back to parts store and bought another end. Back to the homestead now 1600. I change the end out and cycle air in to tank, inflate flat number 1 and then after a cycling of air inflated flat 2. Now 16:40. Too late to take to local tire shop for repairs. But the chickens have put them selves in and i closed their hatch 🐣 up for the night. Goats one in paticular is in heat and very voicestous i threw them a flake of hay. Then noticed Suzanne must have also.
Tomorrow i will pump the tires up again then drop the truck off up the road for repairs.
I start pulmonory rehab again tomorrow for the next 12 weeks. I have prayed on this and i think the Lord wants me to do this, he is not done with me yet. Then go with Suzanne to her weekly day time bowling league. Then the tires should be repaired.
