Nailing It (Literally)

nail.jpg

I haven’t changed my tire by myself in a while, but last night I was happy to see that it was as simple as before. I walk out of my house to find the Landcruiser leaning onto one side. My back right tire was flat, so I undid the spare cover and proceeded to replace the tire. I went to the Mishref Coop Garage and they patched up the tire and pulled this large broken nail out of the tire. I’m assuming its from some where in Shuweikh, and I’m happy that the tires held out without any issues.

    I am surprised to see you having a chance to meet those lazy bastards at mishref garage working!. I think they only open for 8 hours a day and are the slowest people to deal with.
