Roy gave the inner tube to the guys who helped him change the tire – here they are wrestling it out. \u00a0\"blog<\/a>Okay, that’s enough flats for awhile – we put alot of miles on our truck and rarely have to change a tire. \u00a0Thank you for your prayers for us as we travel, we know that we have been blessed for many, many years.<\/p>\n
