Went out this morning to find I had a flat tire. There was a time when I would have just got out the jack and lug wrench and changed the tire myself. But these days it's a call to Triple A

Hey Barry - that's not being old, just sanitary. I wouldn't want to get my hands all dirty changing a tire (not that I could).
My kids tease me because I don't use my cell phone. Well, my cell phone is only used in an emergency, and a flat tire is one of those!!!

Wheezie I have to disagree. Before I retired I was a trouble shooter for the phone company. I spent my share of days in dirty smelly man holes splicing wires. I've always worked outside in all kinds of weather

OHHHHHHHHH - "dirty smelly man holes", and you look so distinguished. Looks can be deceiving and besides there is always soap shampoo and deodorant to clean yourself up

Barry,
Know the feeling...I also remember the time when changing tires was just part of a regular day. Now I wish I could call someone to help tie my shoelaces.
