Got stoked about the rain. Thus I stayed late at work because I am pretty stupid, you're welcome John C. Taxpayer. Don't worry just because you don't pay me, you pay my employer $$$ for every minute of my free time. Anyways I divest. Since it was raining in the valley and it was dark & wet. I decided to not venture out into the night as I might get wet. As I said Stupid me, it has not rained here and I did not ride.
Happy empty dark dry trails
 
Had a flat tire-on my van. Total pain in the ass to change. For some reason, I decided to use the jack and implements that came with the van... Bad mistake. I was putting on a show for the neighbors when I busted out the cheater bar and socket for the lug nuts. You know they're tight when they slowly, almost imperceptibly at first, then silently give before the freeing, cracking noise. That was followed by "ahhhhs" from the sidewalk voyeurs.
Took the tire in to be looked at, and they couldn't find a leak.
WTF?
I used to work emergency road tire repair. AKA gas station dweeb. I learned to put in 100-125 psig in a 35 psig tire. Drop the tire in the big tank or spray it with windex. If there is a leak you will find it. Don't forget to spray the schrader valve too.
