Planning a trip to my mother in law’s by a lake. Gonna take the truck to start moving things out of our house (we’re going to knock it down and rebuild). Plus, the lake has a remote beach to take the doggo, really only accessible by truck or j eep. Notice a tire low, grab the pump. Pull the pump off and get a hurricane of wind out at me. Valve stem fucked. The Leaf has both key fobs out of batteries. The pilot is on expired registration, needs an oil change and a transmission fluid flush. The only fully operational vehicle is the Miata. God damn it.
Sitting now at a shop after a quick trip to Advance Auto to grab the new valve stem. Hopefully salvage the day.
Also, the our home builder mentioned mountain biking, so I brought it up with him, as I used to ride a bit. This badass is doing hundred miles rides over the weekends. Cross country through Shenandoah and blue ridge. I check the calf muscles and yup: builder is a badass.

Throw a new valve in it, or replace the whole stem?

Tpms, and the sensor had been fucked since I've owned the truck. Got the whole assembly for $40.

Just one hanging out at the shop that fixed my tire. I bet his bike cost more than that Jag would sell for

Reminds me of the time I was prepping my mom’s Accord for a road trip she was about to take to Canada , leaving early the following morning . Pulled the spare out to check pressure and brittle valve stem snaps off. It’s a bit past 7:00 pm at this point, check for nearest tire store that may be able to repa ir, find one that is open until 8 pm, 15 miles away. Got their around 7:40 and was on my way home shortly after 8:00 pm.
Living in the sticks has some draw backs, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. Glad I discovered the brittle stem, just the wrong time for it.
