Mr. Murphy, Meaness, or just plain Bad Luck- sometimes stuff happens. We do our best to practice awareness, take precautions, train our brain, physical self...you name it.
I admit I do not know everything, I will always be learning. I just flat got caught , have no idea how, or when, but I did.
Yes I have shared some interesting events of late, and I appreciate the positive feedback and support. My area is not the most kind.
My truck had a rattle, upon inspection my full size spare was the culprit. Mine fits up under the bed with the cable one uses a tire tool inserted thru bumper to raise and lower. I also installed at the time of purchase this bought new '93 , the steel bar with a sliding lock to prevent theft. Chains can be cut, this bar design one cannot cut.
My spare was low on air, it happens with temp changes, and I figured the low air allowed the tire to have play against underside of bed thus causing the rattle. Has happened before.
I went to air...it will not take air. I get further underneath, and there is a hole. I had to get to class last night and just could worry about it until today.
Knifed.
I figured maybe this one had the plug done back so long ago when it was on the ground, relegated to spare when new tires bought. Perhaps age, summer temps, and I dunno perhaps it finally played out.
Nope, when at the tire store it is pretty obvious, it had to take a deliberate effort to do this.
Grateful my other tires were not messed with, nor the rest of the truck...I bought a used one, one size smaller as that is all they had for a spare. The folks treated me right...they understood.
Naturally my thoughts ran to the altercation I shared recently. Being honest , the last time I actually checked that spare was shortly before that incident. I mean I don't make a habit of getting under my truck everytime to visually inspect my spare when I check my other tires.
I have been paying additional ( increased) attention to surroundings while this other incident is dealt with. I mean watching the whole truck, not just a spare one has to actually make an effort to get to. My travels, home, school...everything. Just kicked things up a notch or so ...normal behavior in my opinion.
I guess when one is involved in anything, one needs to consider the weird stuff happening too.
Nope, not going to worry about it. Not going to let whomever have the satisfation of getting to me. Perhaps a fluke, perhaps a new thing kids are doing. Perhaps related to the incident recently. *shrug* Who knows?
Use the energy for precautions, awareness, and positve things instead.
Cut reminded me of how a machete "poked" would do.
Just thought I'd share in the event some new thing is going around. That and the fact we can do the best we can - or so we think- and still get caught.
Regards,
Steve
