The GunRunner Arms was having a rare day that the store would be closed. Would be one of the few times we all could go shooting together. I left early to stake out a spot. 2 miles in the truck was getting odd swerving in the corners. Got out and found a flat rear tire. The truck is new to me and looking at 12 or guns, ammo, (couple 1000 rounds), 40 6" steel pistol targets, and other accessories
I see I'm going to find out how good the jack works. About then I see the other rear tire settling to the ground. 2 flats at the same time, what are the odds of that? About then my son rounds the corner, He has the same truck as I do but 1 year older. Now I have 2 spares and a young back to help. Broke the lugs loose and just started jacking the truck up when around the corner comes 4-5 more trucks. The rest of the GunRunner crew! More young healthy help and one of them even had a floor jack! All got taken care of and a good day shooting and picnic lunch on the range.
But at Les Schwab tires today they found what punctured my tires left a 1' gash that was not repairable. There was enough tread left that I got pro-rated $40 for the tires. Better than nothing but I was still out $150.
