i was 10 minutes early, did not have to wait.
i was happily driving home, thinking of stopping for a burger halfway - blew a tire!
i was able to pull in a nearby farmer’s lane, off the state highway. the farmer came right out and wanted to help, much appreciated, but he was older, probably not so spry, i thanked him, told him i have AAA roadside service .. he wished me well.
i was about 10 miles east of the airport, farm fields and wind farms all around. i called AAA.
they let me down this time. 3 hours waiting. it was about to get dark.
in the meanwhile, a state trooper stopped by, stayed with me a long while .. eventually he put the spare on!
it’s a full tire, but low on air. 15#. we were wondering if the nearby farmer had a compressor?
AAA finally came, put air in the tire, it was dark driving home. thankfully, no rain or weather problems.
i happened to be in a bad place for service. the tow truck driver was grouchy. i was appreciative, i hope that helped.
i’ll get 2 new rear tires Monday. the front tires are newer.
TSA PRECHECK has been approved, i have my KTN number already!
Known Traveler Number i added it to flights coming up in July-August.
Because i booked my 15 yr old granddaughter’s tickets with mine, she will come with me in line at the airport.
