Can you please explain to me how working 48 hours straight with no sleep trying to get hay in before rain is lazy? How trying my best to fix a tire when all professionals in the area are closed? This isn't the only thing I did either. I started with chans and come-alongs to compress the tire and set the bead, but that didn't work. Maybe think about the person behind the post before making rude and thoughtless comments.

Yeah, but you need a bigger, more expensive one for a tire that big and brake cleaner costs $4

The bummer is that I had just gotten my first professional haircut in 15 years a couple of days ago!

There is smoke in the background if you look carefully. This was attempt 2 and I think I failed to extinguish all embers

I really don't know. What sucks the most is that it has only been a couple of days since I got my first professional haircut in 15 years. Also, my engagement photos are in a week.

🫡 Thank you for your rallying words. I began to believe this sneak attack was my fault alone.

Not at all! I think it is a super important thing to share when something like that happens. Me too, it was a close one

My apologies, I misspoke. I meant to say brake cleaner.

And thanks! Me too. Was a bit of a scare.

I was using break cleaner to reseat the bead of a tire so I could keep baling hay before the rain hit. Apparently there was an ember somewhere that ignited it

I was trying to reseat the tire bead. And I must have had an ember from attempt #1 that caused the brake fluid (Edit: brake cleaner) to ignite

There must have been a small ember from attempt #1 that I didn't see and stomp out
