Garage
Today was perfect weather. 67 degrees and clear sky.

Yesterday after a short errand, on the drive back to the house, I noticed my El Camino really pulling to the left. I got it in the garage, and sure enough, the front left tire was virtually flat.

I turned on the air compressor, and tried to air it up to find the leak. That was easy, it was the valve stem itself. I aired it enough to roll, and used some duct tape to hold the valve stem in the "least leaky" position and pulled it into the driveway, and got the scissor lift opened up, and put the Elky in the air. Remove the tire, and put it in the back of the Macan.

Today I took it to the tire shop I bought the tires from, and they fixed the tire for free while I waited 10 minutes. It is now back on the El Camino.

Then I got busy with a deep clean of the AC condenser coil for the house. I had not cleaned it since last spring. It was not horrible, but it is cleaner, and I feel better about it.
