Truthful Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone! I have a pretty funny confession today... Ok, maybe it's just a super lazy one. Either way, you should find it entertaining.
My wheelbarrow in the barn has only one job: to wheel the hay to each stall at feeding time. It's not a strenuous job for the wheelbarrow, as only one bale is ever in there at a time. And my barn is not that long so it doesn't travel very far. As a result of all this, I did nothing when the tires looked low on air. I still did nothing as they were very clearly, completely flat. Then they started to just fall apart. Eventually they looked like this:

I know. Pretty bad... especially that one on the right. But since my floor is rubber, it still wheeled pretty easily. But finally last weekend, I headed over to Tractor Supply and got myself some new tires for the wheelbarrow. I snapped a pic of the tire size before leaving, so I was certain I knew what I needed.
I could only find one tire that matched the size I was looking for, so that was great. No decisions to make! But let's take a look at something on the old ones, shall we?

See how that rim has the sort of extension on it? The metal tube-like feature where the tire is held on? Yeah I didn't take note of it either... The new tires which came mounted on their own rims, didn't have that. I didn't notice until I put them on. So what's a girl to do? Duct tape. DUH!

Crisis averted. For now at least. I'm loving my new wheelbarrow tires! It's so easy to push now, I occasionally lose control of it. It's the little things in life...

Anything you need to get off your chest today? Have you procrastinated on doing anything lately?
