Speaking of tools, I pushed a front tractor tire off of the rim at lunch today (was taking 6 x 5 gallons of compost from back porch to "downhill patch" east of the vineyard, and picking some rocks up out of the driveway and lawn). Think I'm going to need to buy >>>

5/ specifically: * I hate talking to randos * the time cost of talking is high - it can take 1/2 hr or 1 hr to do a simple transaction. I've got stuff to do! * randos may or may not have the tool I need on my schedule. I hate waiting. * I actively value having tools.

6/ me, without tools: * call John. John doesn't answer phone. Leave message. Get call back 2 hrs later. "Sure, I've got it." Drive over. Turns out he DOESN'T have it (loaned one bit to Bob.) John calls Bob. Bob says he'll bring it over. Bob brings over wrong item. Bob goes back

10/ also, if your plan is to borrow tools, you're a consumer, and you depend on other people how's that gonna work when the zombies kill everyone? I mean, sure, now you can go GET those tools from John's barn ... but then John's corpse staggers out, tries to eat you

All the way off? If you just broke the bead sometimes you can get it back on there with a little bit of starter fluid and a light
