Thanks Lippy .. you're a real sweetheart.
With his help I got the old/new heap runnin and air in a kinda flat tire on the nitrovan. At least we know it works. Have the camera plugged in gettin charged and will take pics as soon as the green light comes on. (Bill, if I send to you in email, can you post em?)
Like I said in an earlier post .. don't know what I'd do without y'all.

Iremember the dude selling tire plugs and the couple tools in the kit.... he drove in with 20 stategiclly places holes and plugs in his all 4 tires..explained how it will cost 17 cents each repair and you can charge at least $6 per repair without removing the wheel/tire... i still have some and still use them on junk....
