I had a CA Highway Patrolman stop for me once. Only time I ever had a flat and thankful for that. He said the same thing to me about 'that's why we're out here'. LEOs get a bad rap but I'm guessing there is a much bigger % who are kind and helpful to those in need than the ones who are power happy!
Thanks teenie. I will have to have the hub and new tire. I’m going to call my insurance man in the morning. That would be called a road hazard and I may have insurance for that but I will surely check. (I’ve been asleep already) so now I’m heading for bed, thank goodness.
See you tomorrow if the creek don’t rise!
