Well, unsuccessful on the 1/25 - 1/27 hog hunt on Cumberland, but great place to be regardless. Had a few killed, but didn't get the final tally (maybe low teens?). Anybody that was there and got the final tally, I'd be interested in hearing. Changing tactics / location next time (if I get to go).
Anyway, on top of getting skunked, was headed north (6.5 +/- hours to get home from St. Marys) around Darien and got a flat. Not a big deal except yours truly didn't know that in order to unlock the spare, you need a special "key" that attaches to the end of the handle used for the jack. Supposed to have one in the glove box...wasn't there and wasn't anywhere in the truck. Called my dealer who said I was out or luck and needed to call a local dealer and see if they "might" have one (apparently specific to the vehicle). Of course they didn't, so long story short had to get towed to a tire shop in Darien.
Which is a long way to get to the point: Ponsell's Towing & Recovery came right out, picked us up, sold me a tire and sent us on our way for what I thought was a very reasonable price. It might have helped that we were close to their shop anyway (exit 49), but regardless they were efficient and priced right, so I just wanted to give them a shout out here in case anyone runs into trouble down that way.
Very foolish of me not to know about that, not to mention pretty embarrassing .... but with that said, whatever happened to the days when you could change a tire with a a jack and a lug wrench???
