Dude, I'm not going to sugar coat anything here. I'm a pretty good mechanic. I've solved problems in the oilfield. I designed a tool that worked after engineers tried Twice, and failed. I have a shop and Probably better tools for the tire. I actually bought the real tools. Not screwdrivers and crescent wrenches. I got hurt fighting the back tire, but I got it. But I would not even consider it again. The front, okay, not so bad, but the back is horrible. That is why they have a machine..
I can't SEE the tube. I don't know the difference between the rubber It's made of and the ones I patched, lo those many years ago. Can't AFFORD to do it all once. Sure thing you don't need to be having a flat,because the patch leaked. If it needs patched on the surface that would be on rroad, and it's not too big or a tear, patch it. But think. CLEAN, scuff, CLEAN, but a patch on the sidewall area, naah, I wouldn't. Just the area that would be on the road.. and that's iffy.
What's the minimum wage job you're not good at? I was horrible at Dairy Queen. Old dude, didn't wanna hurt my feelings by firing me. He could see that I was a willing, hard working kid.. I just didn't belong THERE. Not everyone can do every minimum wage job. Just because it's minimum wage doesn't mean that it's for everyone. Maybe you should walk in a little shop, shoot the bull with the owner, and while you're talking, grab a broom, sweep up. That's how I got hired by a blacksmith who was known for working alone.. Didn't last long, but I sure liked it.
