I am wondering if perhaps your recent spell of feeling poorly had an effect on your maneuvering, as it's just not like you! Perhaps you were not at your best and still feeling a bit punky? At least not 100% you yet. It's also good to know friend Jack is around for a bunch of reasons! Now kick back, rest up and just chill out for a while, eh?

Sorry to hear of your 2nd bump and the flat, "stuff" does happen. Hope your luck changes. We have a tire monitoring system, you might want to consider one. There are a number of systems available, runs about $500, but will give you advance warning of any problems and a great deal of peace of mind.
