Do you know how to change a flat tire?

Here is an Ex-Spurt in action...

Not too far off the mark when i was a kid.

I'll never forget that insurance company commercial where Mom is worried about her strapping, tall 16 year old son and his buddy getting stranded with a flat tire.
It was sad commentary on the state of American masculinity.
Here's a plan, mom. Teach the damn kid how to change a tire. Der.

I've only had to change one in my life. I've also changed some for winter tires. Meh, I'm sure someone would figure it out, but, if they haven't been taught how could they expect to know?

Not man enough to grapple them t-post out of the ground?

I'm sure the ones you put in would be easy.

I'm talking about posts that were installed correctly.

Installed with a tractor?

My 17 year old daughter knows how. And she practices!

I've taught both of my grand daughters (6 & 10). They assist me changing over to winter tires and back every fall and spring. Even down to torquing the lug nuts.

I think the key is motivation to WANT to know how. When both my kids left home I went through how to change their tire on their cars. I'd bet neither one of them remembers. My wife once popped her tire on one of those spike strips so I drove out and changed it and I explained every thing I was doing. There isn't a chance she could do it now. My Dad never taught me but I don't like relying on other people so I taught myself.

The only jack my wife knows is a card with three As on it. LOL

Damn you're dumb.

I guess old guys like you use a tractor.

You ever seen one of these?

I would guess that a coronal mass ejection that fried the wiring on our planet's surface like the Carrington Event would probably kill most Americans today if we had to survive for a significant length of time without electricity.

Yup. Hurts like the dickins. I never could work with gloves either, so I was crying like little girl after a couple of days, lol.

I used gloves and the skin still came up missing.

I never used em for posts. I used em for the tall tree stakes. Sledged the shorter ones in there. Some of those rootballs filled the whole bucket.

You are a little older than I. My grandpa used the wood stakes, I tried to make a gate and ended up buying one.
