We might have taken the same kind of high school courses in wood- and metal-shop. Shop classes indirectly teach self-reliance.

At one time, a smaller Wolfeboro population supported three hardware stores: Bradley's, Wolfeboro Hardware, and Gene's.

Self-reliance isn't so important today--but it should be.

If removal of the rim(s) proved impossible, I would have bought two new $4 tires, and bonded everything together at the rim(s).


ETA: The second tire arrived yesterday.

Greenworks, while slower than I'd like, did follow through.
