A nice drive toward Palace Station. Of course I did not know I was going to Palace Station until I got to Senator and Poland Road, Crown King 26 miles.

Now this is where Wagoner Road? comes out. Hmmmm as I recall Palace
Station is not toooo far away. So I am about 2 miles down the road and I
see a steep down grade I think I don’t think with all those bumps in the road
my truck will make it up there. This was of course with prior experience.
So I am able to turn around this time. But what is that noise? Oooops a flat
tire. I am trying to break the lug nuts and it is not happening. About this time
a guy and his woman come along. He jumps up and down on each nut and walla.
I am under the truck getting ready to get the spare tire which is a weenie
tire, boy if I knew that it would have been replaced long ago.
About this time a couple of guys came along Frank and Jack and lend a hand
in Chucks amateur hour. Hey I least had a mini tire compressor, cus the tire on the other side has a slow leak.
Well they are, more them than me, able to get air into the flat, plus they got a can of sealum juice. They say you got to haul butt to get that to seal the leak.
I was gone in a flash with that instruction.
Several more juice applications and pressure applied and I made it to black top!
I am trying to fill it some more with difficulty the juice has sealed the valve maybe. Some nice man says I got a air compressor around the corner. Well we got er to 30# and there was a dust a comin out er whar the leak was. But it
was good enough to get me to town.
Most places were closed. One more mini, one more compressor at “well we
don’t do to many tire repairs here”. There’s Ponderosa up the street. I could not remember where I had seen a tire place, they are right around the corner.
We can get to it tomorrow Charles. I don’t think they can plug it. New tires?
Ponderosa fixed it, and it was a pretty good slash. I thank them kindly, they did it at no charge.
