I have GOT to get Pics of this one!!
At work, we have a big butt Pressure Washer machine that has little tires on it, the type of little tires that you would expect to see on a heavier duty Hand Truck. Those two wheel carts that warehouse guys use, those carts that some wussy folks like to sometimes call Dollies. (Dollies makes me sick, but that's besides the point here...) Anyhow, we got this thing from our main office with two flats and one Bad Wheel. Rusted out beyond belief! Normally, we never have to Move this pressure washer so it's been set on a Pallet for the last year or so in one corner of the warehouse where the 220v Power cord can be plugged in to use it. Well, this Cold Snap hit us (Hello! Al Gore??? ~ Wanna tell me something about Global Warming?) and we had to relocate this beast into a heated area in the building. As you can imagine, that's not so easy to to do with two flat tires. We did this, but I am not the kind of guy that likes to repeat a hard chore again. So... I took it upon myself to Fix these dang little Tires and that one wheel. And I'll be danged if my Duct Tape idea didn't actually WORK! ;D ... Like I said... I've gotta get some Pics of this one. I wouldn't believe it myself if I didn't see this happen with my own eyes.
So far, it's holding up. If it lasts much more than a week, I'll be amazed. Pics coming soon. I'm fairly confident that I indeed did fix that wheel well enough to work for what we'll need it for.

2 Days later, and this dang thing is Still holding Air! What?
As promised, the Pic/Evidence. Of all the things that I can be accused of, a Liar I am not. That absolutely IS one pic of a little tire/rim repaired and still holding air with Duct Tape.
