I've always changed my own tires (even on cars, for years). Find me in Moab
and I will be glad to help -- sans beer (I drink wine with dinner). But
then, I'm sure there will be no shortage of people at Moab who will be
willing to help.

you mean you'd pass on a free install and a chance to see Fred mount a tire
with one hand while talking with a phone cradled in his ear?

I'll also be there on Tuesday. I'd be happy to help you install it; It's
breaking the bead on the old one that will be the problem. Then again Gino
may bring his hack saw. Anyway we'll find a way. Of course, if he has time,
it may be worth paying the Hinksta to do it and then get to observe his
secret, patented process that even turned Gino into an attentive student.
Bogdan, who never registers for rallies in advance, bad luck you know.

My ProLev'r will break the bead even with a weakling like me. I never leave
home without it.

I ordered one about two weeks ago. Didn't even realize it was small enough
to take on board. Still not here; better call him Monday. BTW Do you have to
be in witness protection to live in Escondido, or can anyone reside there?

Ah, well---- mine should have been sitting on the shelf from about the same
period but when I went to get it to change my rear tire I couldn't find it.
I'll have to check at the auto parts store to see if it is still made. Some
where on one of my shelves buried in all the other junk sits a part of a
gallon of Ruglide. Would have come in handy.
