Some lucky bad luck

[derb]

I discovered my spare tire was flat the other week and I couldn't inflate it because my cheap eBay special compressor wouldn't go past 10 psi. I then completely forget that the spare was flat. Fast forward to tonight. I back out of my driveway and hear a thump-thump sound. What the... I pull back into the garage and find the right rear tire very flat.
Looks like a piece of metal in the tread. I'm hoping it can be plugged/patched to get me thru the wiinter. The tread depth is close to the wear bar and I had planned on deferring the cost until the spring.

Bad luck- flat tire.
More bad luck- spare tire is flat.
Good luck- you are in your garage.

Check your spare tire once in a while. Not all flat tires happen in your garage.
