Woke up and fed the boys and I, went down to town to get a paper and have coffee. That took a bit longer than necessary, when my loving wife went to pick up some fruit about 45 minutes away. We split up the kids, I took 2 she took 1. I went down to the shop with the 2 kids and when she drove by with a flat tire I waved, called 3 times, then texted for her to stop. 3 miles down the road she figured it out and texted that she needed help.
So I loaded up the kids and went there, ruined tire, waiting for me. The cheap tire wrench got bent up trying to loosen the lug nuts, went home for a socket set. Socket worked for one, odd sized and no other nuts would fit in the sockets. Went home again and grabbed a pipe wrench to use with the cheap lug wrench. Finally got everything changed an hour later. She then stopped at WalMart to get 2 new tires. Wall Mart couldn't get the other side lug nuts loose so they can't Mount the other tire. Grrrrrrr.
Finally to add insult to injury, after I got home and found the lug nut cap stuck inside the socket. Turns out that would have saved a trip and some cussing.
