Let me start this off by saying I am not really sure if this belongs here or not. I was cutting firewood when this happened so maybe?
The wife, kids and I were up cutting wood. We had the truck loaded up to the gills with oak.
We drive down the road to this beautiful oak grove where we like to make our dutch oven dinner. My daughter realizes that we forgot the dog.:censored: He is little and easy to overlook.
My wife drops me off to light the fire and goes back to get him. About twenty minutes later, Shauna (my wife) comes walking back down the road. She tells me that the truck has a flat. :censored: :censored: :censored: I
walk back to where the truck is parked and the right rear tire is FLAT. Big gash in the sidewall. Worse, I follow her tracks and see that she drove off of the road to hit the sharp branch that cut the tire.
My spare, jack and star wrench are in the back of the truck half buried.
Lesson learned there. Next time pull the spare, jack, and star out before loading the truck. I dig the spare and jack out and start to change the tire. I go to jack the truck up, and Oh my hell, it's heavy. Long story short, I get the tire changed and start to let the truck back down. On the first stroke of the jack handle, the handle comes up and smacks me on the side of the head. When I say smacks me, I mean WOW. I am looking for Mike Tyson because I got popped. I was loopy for ten minutes. My step-son, who was watching, told me he thought I was going down. 
Now he knows the old man can take a punch.
So be careful with those jacks. I had both hands on the jack handle and it came up fast. I never saw it coming. So be careful. By the way, if you find my hat and Oakleys send them back to me. I did not even realize they were missing until I got home.
Lessons learned:
1- Don't let wife drive truck.
2- Unload tire, jack and necessary tools before loading with wood.
3- Watch out for Mike Tyson in the woods. Because he hits hard.

Don't be mad at your wife, she knows where you live.
