Toots to the contrary, today wasn't an early breakfast day. Today was a stagger-out-of-bed-late-and-discover-the-driver-side-tire-is-flatter-than-the-Prairies day. A refill and astonishingly cheap garage visit later, nail in tire is out, hole repaired, and breakfast - well, lunch - was had.
Once I'd have tried to do that myself. Today isn't a good hand day.
