Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well Jodi ran over some hardware on highway four hours from home on way to Elderberry conference. Many moons ago I got rid of the toy tire and the little gay compressor and put a full size spare in the trunk with a low profile hyd floor Jack complete with impact gun sockets and extension plus ratchet and breaker bar. She cussed the room the full size spare and Jack took up everytime she needed the trunk. It is a Challenger, you could fit four dead bodies in the trunk it is so big. Well she ain’t cussing me now as she does a NASCAR tire change on side of the road. Chivalry is dead, she is in woman business clothes laying on ground putting jack in position and nary a soul has stopped to help. Just outside of Springfield Missouri.
Nobody stops any more. I have one of those air bag jacks and my portable compressor and an adapter. 35 psi and tire is off the ground. Its easier to manage than a floor jack.

The last lady i helped on the side of the road, about 50 miles of gravel, she must have been 75 years old. Alone in the middle of nowhere. Determined to replace it on her own. I was working for parks branch, and we were instructed to never do the pull over and assist thing. Radio for a towtruck. Nope, i disagree with that rule. I always made sure i had gas and diesel as well.
