Coffee helps, I mean, you're home so why not make a pot and relax for one half hour? Without thinking about your "problem."
A couple of weeks ago my bike stopped running on the way to the cardiologist for a run on the treadmill. I rolled into the NAPA store parking lot, across the street from the Marathon gas station and tried to call for a ride.
45 Minutes later after I had given up on making my appointment, I realized "I'm parked in front of a NAPA store." So I purchased a spool of wire and a wire stripping tool. Now in my defense the trip meter showed 79 miles and I normally refill the tank at 100 miles, 130 miles being the coast to the side of the road range.
I wired the fuel pump directly to the battery and it rattled merrily away.
I pushed the bike across the street and filled the tank, the bubbles of air giving evidence that the day tank below the main tank was empty.
I started the bike and made the last run of the day. I removed the jumper wires and rode home.
