Once I bought my compressor, everybody in the neighborhood had a need for air. One day a good friend from down the street came by with his wife they were on bikes. He knocked on the door, when I answered it he said "John, I need some air." My response was "take a deep breath" which he did, meanwhile I could see his wife start to giggle. When done, I said "there you go" and shut the front door. His wife almost tipped her bike over from laughing, my friend just stood there with a dumb look on his face. I then went and opened the garage door and turned on the compressor. He was real quiet but his wife's mascara was running from tears while laughing. We're still friends!  Grin

John,

No wonder... he was confused about how to go about transferring that gulp of air to his tires... You should have told him to then squat on the valve-stem...

The "wisdom" that comes from this site always amazes me.   Thanks for that tip. cooldude
One must accept the "experience" factor.   Knowing how you came about this knowledge is not required.

Hmmm.  There are days I could do 0 to 42 psi with a single rearward blast!  Maybe I could save the bag space and leave that portable inflator behind?   Huh?

weird timing.  Yesterday I got new tires for kids SUV installed.  They said they have to go to mfg. specs at 33 psi knowing is too low IMO.  I got a psi gauge at my daughters house and luckily neighbor across street no idea who he was was getting out his air compressor.  I did not feel like driving the car 3-4 miles to nearest gas station not knowing if they had an outside air compressor since kid did not have a bicycle pump from 33 to 36psi wanting in each tire.  Walked on over across street to neighbor guy out of the blue telling him daughter lives across street in rental duplex not having a bicycle pump or compressor can I drive my car across street and use his air compressor for 5 minutes.  He was cool about it and said sure, but he is a semi truck driver having his rig parked in the way sort of in driveway.  He had to move his HD cycle he spent 23K new on he said and most would just push it by hand back 3 feet and move it forward 3 feet over to get air compressor out.  He fired it up LOUD rumble just  to push it back 3 feet and shift into 1st gear going 4 feet forward over more to get compressor out. 

So, I guess when air compressor is out in the neighborhood,  all neighbors come running up to use it? 
 2funny   I guess a nice heavy duty air hand pump is in the future for her next Christmas?   I use mine all the time for cycle and car tires if only needing 5 psi or less vs. firing up the air compressor, especially if only 1 vs. 4 tires.  4 tires hand pumped up sorta is tiring though takes about 20 hand pumps to gain about 2 psi of air into each tire.
