Someone’s definitely got your number, repo…

You didn't read the thread I linked, did you?

It sounds like you are getting slow leaks in your inner tube. If you try to air up your flat tire and it won't hold air at all that's a different story. The tube appears to go flat overnight because it has a slow leak and that's the time when it's furthest from being inflated and when it's ignored for the longest period of time. It went flat at work because it got a slow leak and then sat for eight hours, losing air the whole time.

If there's something on the south side of your porch that is causing slow leaks in your inner tube, there's a very, very good chance that whatever you're picking up over there is getting embedded in your tire and will eventually put a pinhole in the next tube you install.

That is why I am suggesting you check your rim tape. The thread I linked also suggests inflating your leaking tire and holding it underwater to look for pinholes. A lot of times bike tires will pick up tiny, barely-noticeable bits of wire that can work through and put a pinhole in an inner tube.

If something pokes all the way through your tire and through your innertube, it's probably still embedded in the rubber of the tire. It is not very common for something to stab all the way through a tire and not leave a trace.

That does sound like a possible scenario. And I did click the link you posted.

And there's something else I literally keep forgetting.

The blue line represents my ride to work but the red line represents my line from work. If you've been to the area in the picture, you'd know that the road before you turn onto the highway has lots of crud on the ground. And if I ran over anything it'd be something there... on my way home, where the tire would no doubt not start losing air until AFTER I get home.

But that's just a theory.

Back and to the left. Back and to the left.

None of this disproves that you're not being stalked by a Murder Clown. Every year about this time in parts of North Carolina, whole tens of people report strange and unusual problems associated and inferred to have been caused by Murder Clowns. They come out at night with their clown hijinks, spreading disease with their water-spewing flowers and damaging yards with their buzzsaw-like bowties and overly large shoes. Murder clowns are the real threat America is facing, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise, because those people are lying to you.

Murder clowns are so 2015. It's very likely to be a ghost from the lost Roanoke colony. Most people assume ghosts are in it to scare people but a lot of them just do it for the bants.

Don't even joke about ghosts. Apparently my uncle's fiancée's house has ghosts.

Other than that:

Billy Idol's 2006 Christmas album "Happy Holidays" has been rereleased and is on Amazon Music right now.

Also apparently Idol's a grandfather!

[Sload Soap]

I'm not joking.

[Ack]

Oh hell, we got Roanoke ghosts now? REPO is screwed. No wonder his bike tires go flat. Maybe he can ward them off with some Mountain Dew though. I hear Baja Blast is particularly effective against otherworldly spirits and water heaters.

[REPO Man]

So are we going to ignore Billy Idol's Christmas album or the fact that he's a grandfather?

[Sload Soap]

He's been ignored by the world since 1989 so why change that now?
