With, say, a cold beverage? <br /><br />I would have chosen the latter.Big Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713190395281794960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-1984898608140779802011-05-09T23:25:47.933-05:002011-05-09T23:25:47.933-05:00I've done the same.

If the weather very hot or cold, and/or I'm within a mile or two of home, I'll simply pump the tire and cross my fingers--unless, of course, it's obvious that the flat is more than a "slow leak."Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.com
