Dear tire repair kit. It's been a while since we've spent any quality time together. How long ago was it? Jeez, was it really more than 2 years ago? I don't say it enough, but you're really aces in my book. Really. For such a humble little package, you really know how to come through in the clutch. You really know how to make a potentially miserable situation into a rather pleasant departure from the daily grind. So, while I sit here in this little cafe, waiting for the cement to vulvanize, I just wanted to say...Thanks for that. I'll be by later to restock your cement & CO2 cartridges. Regards! --The guy that shoved you in a hole for two years & forgot about you


Dear Auto Zone... You thieving little lowlifes. You don't think I know it was you that threw down those roofing nails around the construction site down the road from you? Yeah, that's quite a nice tire repair section you've got stocked. I think I'll get my refills at advance auto. Merry Christmas.

Those kits really work. I got 12,000 km on my rear tire before having to replace it, after repairing with one of those kits.
A little Green Slime helped as well. Good stuff too.

I guess since I lock it up in a dark hole...It's earned a pass on that. KU

Roofing nails: Tire killers cleverly disguised as benign, useful home construction items. They blend easily into the road surface and are designed to stand point up until their dastardly purpose is achieved.

Well, at least I know who to blame now.
Thanks heaps, Auto Zone.

to vulvanize: I guess that one doesn't need elaboration. "v" and "c"...so close on a cell phone thumb pad...yet soooo far apart in meaning.
