Come on Scott, where's that "can do" attitude? ;-) I also pump mine with a bicycle pump, about 8-10 pumps per PSI as I recall.

I do find the beauty of the Spanish Siesta time...LOL Fans and a pool make it tolerable. I would never have been able to do it when I moved down in '79, but just as an experiment I tried it and it really isn't that bad. But Scott, I'll bet it's not really that GOOD either. |
Now I notice how damned cold people keep their businesses.

Note - the advantage to using a pump is that you can check and adjust the pressure when the tires are *truly* cold. |

I just thought of a job I should do....flush my brake system.
I do have a good 'sucker'. One of those hand held dudes that pulls
the fluid out at each brake. I've done that once on my wagon. Guess
it is time to do it again.
I SHOULD have done it while my boy was home on leave....but he escaped
un worked...LOL
