No school Labor Day
I had quite a time over the week-end. I was sick with a cold. This morning I went out with the tractor to mow and the valve stem started leaking. I took the tire off and started to load it in the truck and the wheel fell over on me catching and twisting my left leg. Trixie had to come and help lift it off. I was scared that it might have broken it, but it never.
