As long as I breathe, I attack.

- Land of confusion
I had just started my commute home in driving rain and i road over something that sounded metallic, hard to tell in the rain and i suffered from instant deflation on the back tyre.
Checked the road and i could not see anything for the standing water so i pull over in the underpass so i am out of the rain , and now its feckign sleeting and although my head is keeping dry the spray from lorries etc is not helping .
Take the wheel out and get the inner tube out then check the tyre , a good 2 cm cut in the tread going all the way through !! so i put a new tube and a bit of old rubber i keep as a tyre boot and get the tube and tyre sorted.
Once i get back on the road i have to take it easy as i can feel a bit of a bump as the wheel goes round and with the standing water its a bit dicey in spots anyway .
Get home soaked through and cold thanking my lucky stars that the tyre lasted long enough to get me home and i walk into the house the wife looks at me and says " It did not rian much here "
