Day 174, Friday, November 25

Yesterday I decided I'd check the rear tire of my motorcycle to see if I could tell why it's been loosing air. Didn't take long before I found the nail I'd picked up. Problem is that neither car tire dealerships nor motorcycle dealerships will repair tires. That's a pisser because this rear tire still has thousands of miles of tread left on it. I figure I'll mail the tire home and patch it after the trip is done. I spent the morning at the BMW dealership getting an oil change and a new tire. $300. Ouch. Spent the afternoon playing with the kids and talking with the adults.
