Started raining pretty hard so bailed for town, did some more shopping, found out which tire company had a calcium pump and ate a monster burrito for a 3:00PM 'lunch'
Calcium Pump - Buttercup has a slow leak in two of her tires. Agricultural tires are filled with water to give extra weight and traction (it is called a 'tractor' for a reason). The water is mixed with CaCl2 - calcium chloride - for anti-freeze and for yet more weight. This needs to be pumped into the tire through the schrader valve.
Just came back from two pints of cider at my local - time to read the internet and then to bed.
