day 3

Going to make this one quick.  I'm getting pretty sleepy.

Today I am thankful for practical gifts.  Awhile ago, my grandfather gave me an air pump/compressor that plugs into the cigarette lighter in my car.  At the time, I was wondering exactly when I would ever need an air pump.  Turns out, I use it all the time.  One of the tires on my car has a slow leak.  I use my handy-dandy air pump to pump it up about once a month.  It is much nicer to put air in my tires in the safety/comfort of my own apartment complex rather than having to go to the gas station.  I've also used it to pump up my bike tires on several occasions.  Tonight, I used my air pump to help a friend put air in the tires of her car.  It's nice to have such a handy, useful item.  Thanks for thinking of me, gramps, and knowing what I needed, even when I didn't!
