Props to anyone who can tell me what this is. Hint ... it cost $3.
 
With all of the rain I've received this year and the fact that my front storm door was ancient, I had to replace it. Somehow, after decades of stellar service, it was breached by water and the bottom or the door swelled up and pretty much became worthless. ( Aluminum clad particle board filled door) I replaced it with a high view self storing screen by Larson.

I didnt take a picture of it but I'll tell y'all what I purchased this morning. 2lbs of thick cut hickory smoked bacon, a block of extra sharp cheddar, Folgers's Black Silk coffee, can of biscuits ( USA version ) , 8 gallons of purified water and some black cherry pipe tobacco.
 
I had my first flat on my E-bike last night. Rear tire naturally.. sheesh! Disk break, derailer, cadence sensor all took extra care in the removal of the back wheel and motor. It required a 18mm end wrench and the set of a thousand metric end wrenches in my possession naturally lacked the very wrench I needed. I could not use a socket because the power to the motor enters the end of the bolt that fastens the wheel to the frame. So.... I bought a 18mm end wrench today. I did buy a wrench that ratchets on the box end. Might as well upgrade as I'm going along. :)
 
It was raining this morning so I couldn't mow. I had the perfect time to work on it though it was a pain. Knowing what I now know, it will be much easier to fix next time. Still no fun. Here is a pic of the puncturing culprit. I have no idea what it is but it is quite small. I'm thinking puncture proof tubes are in my future. My bike is a fat tire bike.
Tires are four inches across. :) Tubes are a bit on the expensive side, not common, and puncture proof may prove to be hard to locate.
