Well, rode down to order new tire yesterday. On way home I felt rear end getting squirrely and knew I was getting a flat. Weird since I rode it 42 miles the night before on the plug and hadn't lost any air. Made it home and threw it on center stand and checked pressure 0. Filled it to 42. Checked plug, not leaking.
This morning go out and check pressure. 0. Refill to 42, throw carpet on floor and lay down behind it and check plug. Not leaking. Must be another puncture somewhere. Roll tire around and feel air escaping. Found a slice in tire. Nuts. This tire is cursed. Put in 1 plug. Still leaking. Put in second plug. Still leaking, put in 3rd plug (my last one) and barely leaking. Hopefully it will hold enough air to get me to shop 9 miles away when my new tire comes in Tues or Wed.
Oh well, just glad it happened at home and didn't happen when I was in the boonies in Montana or Texas or Idaho or Utah or New Mexico or Maine or ......
