Morning Legionnaires!

High today and for the upcoming week will be in the 60's. Really wanting the colder air and snow but, we usually don't get much here. About one time a year or so. Anybody else have snow?
We had a couple inches a few days ago...maybe last weekend? All melted now other than a few small patches here and there under trees or North side of the house where there's no sun. Been fairly cold ever since so in the shady areas it hasn't gotten warm either.
Hope we don't get any soon. Still have a flat tire on the snowblower I need to fix.
 
Why is it these tubeless tires leak/go flat all the time? Seems live every year I have one go flat on the blower or one of the trailers, etc. Real pain to try to get to seal at the rim to take air. I've seen the videos of spraying (WD40?) in them and then lighting a match. Think I'll pass on that.

Have you tried soapy water? Back when I busted tires as a summer job, soapy water was our go-to. Another trick is use a long strap around the tire. Perhaps something like this below:

Yeah I've tried it that way. Harder to do on small tires I think. Seems when I put the racheting strap around it, it's tighter where the rachet is at and pushes the tire down further than other areas around the rim. As you know it doesn't take much of an opening for the air you're trying to put into it to escape.
I played with it for about an hour the other day and never could get it. Tried the soap/water for the first time.
I'll try it again when it warms up a bit (I hope).

Edit: Did you do it with just soapy water and no strap? If so, I've never tried it that way.....always use a strap.

Always initially attempt with soapy water and no strap. Ensure the bead between tire and rim is super clean. If possible, bring tire/wheel indoors so it warms up and expands. You may have better luck obtaining a seal indoors.

Back 40 years ago, I probably mounted several hundred 13" - 16" automotive tires during one job I worked.

Didn’t mean to go MIA again but some crazy stuff has gone down the last week
First I’m gonna ask for you to pray for my brothers best friend. John is like another brother; part of our family. John was taken to the hospital on Wednesday with a dissected aortic aneurysm. They got him into surgery in time. He’s stable but he has a long way to go. Only 49 years old.
I had to go tough love on my middle child. I ran up some debt to help them out and they didn’t learn. So now I have to step back and let him sink or swim. I’m scared to death for them ..and what will happen. They have a 1 yr old and are facing eviction. I won’t let them be homeless but that’s it
To top it off, we’re in a position to maybe buy a house, finally. A lot has to come together for it to happen and to be honest I’m scared to death.
So any prayers and/or positive vibes would be appreciated

So sorry. I hope things turnaround soon. Good luck with the house. That could be great news!

Prayers sent. Wishing a speedy recovery.
 
The Cats have a lot of problems to fix and the schedule doesn't get any easier going forward. Hopefully they start figuring it out sooner than later.
Hopefully this turmoil is temporary and serves as a reminder to Cal about continuity. Dominique Hawkins and Derek Willis were 4-year players. Last year's team included many veteran players. Gotta have them.

Georgia Tech is a bad basketball team
Tech is awful this season, but sadly KY Wildcats seem worse so far.

I would have to agree, since this Georgia Tech team lost to Mercer and Georgia State.
