Last week I mentioned here that I’d been having trouble with flats on my bike. I got a third flat and it prompted me to go see Pete at the local bike shop. He said that sounds like something in the tire.

He pulled the tyre off. Pulled out the tube, found the hole, and then looked at where along the circumference the puncture was vs the valve, we started searching the tire there for stuff.

This tiny piece of a staple(?) was stuck pointy side down in the rubber right at the base of a knob. Metal pulled, went for a 25k ride last night and had no problems. Problem fixed.

Massive shout out to Sebastian who totally called this on a reply. @ssamulczyk

Today's post is on John Fisher.

Some of the previous posts have been about various aspects of John Fisher's life in Ōtautau, so here is a brief history. He did more than this too, such as sit on the local and Southland Dairy Board, School Board and give support to many other local and regional and community groups. But this is just a summary!

Looking back on this day to 22 January 1924.

This was the day that C. Aitchison of the Ōtautau Hotel, advertised that he had taken over the Ōtautau Livery Stables as well, and that he has a "new Dodge Sedan Car!"

Colin Aitchison was running the Ōtautau Hotel for four years from 1922 to 1925, he had taken over while Sarah Keith took a break. Her husband passed away & she had continued on for a time with daughter Nellie.
