Travel Troubles

Sorry for the view...butt, this is a common one when we travel nowadays. In the past 3 weeks Nathan has changed a flat tire at least a dozen times, and not always the same tire! Keep in mind that we only drive 1-2 times a week. You figure out the average! Compare this to our first term where he changed a tire (maybe) 3 times in 3 years. Crazy! I guess we need to take some time and replace the tubes, instead of having them patched...though it's always a different hole each time. But, Nathan's such a pro at this now that he has a system and his tire changing "kit", including the yellow tarp, handy at all times and can switch out the tire with the spare in less than 7 minutes! Other than the tires and a bit of shaking and wobbling that wasn't there before, and a few other minor details...we are praising God that our Hilux was able to be fixed and that we are making good use of it until we find something to better suit our needs.
