Last night

fayanora and I aborted a try for more caches because her front bike tire was going flat. This was bad because it'd been filled up on the way over after having gone flat on her a few days before.

When we got home we watched cartoons and BSG episodes.

And tried to see what we could do about her tire. I fear attempts to fix a problem (the tubeless tire had "slipped" along the rim, making the valve stem stick out at an angle (not good for the stem or the "tube")) made things worse. It was flat when she went to leave.

Today, after finding The Whispering Winds cache, my back tire started losing air. I suspect I picked up a thorn or something. The dinky little pump I had along was useless (it was about 6" long and not very thick). Pumping helped a bit, but by the time I was about a mile and a quarter from home, I was afraid to ride the bike. By the time I got home it was utterly flat.

*sigh*. Can't afford repairs. Heck, I can't afford to renew my anti-virus stuff and I'm not sure about the Internet and storage for next month. Arrghhh.
