Just returned from a very expensive lunch.  Earlier today I was sitting at 

my desk doing what Engineers normally do, reading and talking about 

Dilbert, and a co-worker stopped by and said it appeared that I had a flat 

tire.  He said he wasn't sure because with my low-profile tires, it was 

sometimes hard to determine.  I took him at his word, and out to the 

parking lot I went.  Sure enough, the right rear was flat.  Opened the 

trunk, pulled out the jack and my torque wrench and loosened bolts.  Then I 

reached under the trunk (modified exhaust) and dropped the spare.  Sure 

enough, it too was flat.  Fortunately, my wife works in the same building 

so I borrowed her Lexus to run home (3 miles) and fill the spare.  Back to 

work, off with the Dunlop SP4000 205/50ZR-15, and on with the spare.  Next 

to NTB (formally NTW) for a fix.  Unfortunately, the MOMO Ferrari rim had 

cut the sidewalls and a new tire had to be purchased.  Bummer!  Anyway, I'm 

back on the road after a very expensive Dunlop lunch.



Hope the note didn't bore you, but it is a reminder to periodically check 

your spare's pressure.  I was lucky everything happened close to work, 

home, and a tire shop.  Others may not be so lucky.



Later,
