That's a sweet thought. Damn, winter is too long (i.e., not-summer is
too long). You definitely should get that compressor. And crack the
tank drain valve to make it take a bit longer, so as to catch a couple
of more sunnies G.

I have a home made micro compressor that I use for tires. It's a pump
from a dorm-room refrigerator & a 1 gal propane tank. Weighs about 10
lbs & the CFM is puny. But with the tank at 100 psi, the tire gets
filled right away and the tank is recharged at its leisurely pace.
