HELP!!!!

[Brrly1 1,146]

 Help comes in a lot of different forms. It comes in forms where somebody needs physical help, help with money etc. Yesterday during my adventure to Portland I just happened to have a flat tire on my trailer. Well first off it was as I got off at my exit to take about forty miles south on the highway. I approached a Firestone tire store and they told me No right along with the Walmart up the street No was there answer. If it was my truck then sure we will fix you right up. I even tried triple AAA to no avail. This will be there last year for that. At that point I called one of the people I was going to meet, Brandon Schamer came to my rescue. Brandon was looking for some xi attachments which I had a couple extra. Brandon stopped an bought a small floor jack for his car, also to jack up my trailer. Brandon got to me and the journey began. Got the wheel off and made the trip thru downtown Ft. Wayne to another Firestone dealership who actually carried the tire I needed. Got the tire put on and we returned to the Walmart parking lot to reinstall the tire on the trailer. We then unloaded the xi attachments. I have never been so grateful for the Help that I received yesterday Brandon just like I told you Thank you very much!! At that point I sill had a tractor to deliver. I called Derek W. up as he was packing up at Portland well that worked out good too, he told me too set tight and he would see me also at the Walmart parking lot. He came up and picked up the tractor. I am here to tell you when you need help the Wheel Horse people get together there's not a lot of things that can stop them. Brandon and Derek I hope you have a great day Thanks for being there. In case anybody wants to know I am now recovering from my second stroke, Wheel Horse people rule!! Thank you everyone, including Travis the salesman

I knew when you mentioned Brandon Shamer that the story was going to have a happy ending. I'm glad everything worked out for you. This group is amazing.

No spare?  I usually travel with 3 spare tires. 1 for the truck, 1 for the trailer and 1 sitting in the driver's seat!

Glad it all worked out well for you John.

Thanks John! I know you would have done the same in a heartbeat if you could!

It was a pleasure getting to hang out with you for a bit longer than we would have otherwise.   I'm glad we missed all those tornadoes on the way home! 

(P.S. I thought you would like to know, my overall MPG for that entire trip was 29 mpg!)
