Staple in the rear tire...

As I went to add some air to the bicycle tires, I noticed this staple stuck in the rear tire.

When I pulled it out, the short leg of the staple was in the center of the tire (can see the white spot where the staple entered the tire).

I was surprised that the staple (about 2.5 mm) didn't puncture the inner tube!

I've been using Continental Gatorskins (25 mm wide) and they're been pretty good against punctures.

Loose Gate Board

The last board on the gate is loose.

To reinforce the attachment to the diagonal reinforcement on the back side of the gate, installed two long stainless screws (2" long).

Drilled a slightly smaller hole than usual to increase the grip of the screws to the wood.

Made it harder to install the screws but once installed, they should be very tight and not loosen, even with the expansion/shrinking of the wood.
