So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

....and we had a disappointing day today. After about an hour of flight, the ABS CFI and I landed (very smoothly) at KENW. We got taxi instructions, rolled back up to the hold short line, and paused to re-load the flight plan and check everything before heading back to home base. Tower clears us to take off and we start to roll onto the runway....

.....and the plane didn't want to roll. We got about 20 feet past the hold line and scrubbed the takeoff.

Uh-oh.

Long story short, somehere during the taxi-back we must have rolled over something sharp, because the nose gear tire was dead flat. Fun. 2 hour Uber ride back to KETB got us back where we started, but without an airplane.

Welcome to aircraft ownership, I guess.
