I like getting lucky too, but what does that have to do with tires?

there you go.... Now I gotta use again.

Have you been following the thread on the Kamikaze wood splitter? You need to see the video on the Bobcat unit they've posted.

I haven't been following the thread, but I saw it when it was first posted. There were a bunch of people up my way in New England that had them when they first came out. After a few of them lost limbs and/or organs, we didn't see that many of them around anymore.

Thanks Heidi, tonight wasn't too exciting when it came to dinner. We finished off the left over tacos from last night, still good though! I seem to do some of my best cooking when under pressure too. I figure that when i am under pressure and pressed for time I can to do my best then and it usually comes out as my best then. Got a good dinner planned for the wife and I Friday. I picked up two filets for her and I today when i picked up the turkey at the butcher for the family dinner thursday. Got my role in the dinner prep for thursday, Mom wants me to make the German Potato Salad this year. It's a traditional dish every year at thanksgiving and christmas, this year she want me to make it. She said I make it like how her mom ( my Grandma) use to. The wife has her role in the cooking too, she's gonna make her deviled eggs and cherry graham delight.

Dang it Heidi, you got me talkin about food again and now I am hungry!

ME TOO! I boil a mean cuppa water when I'm pushed for time. Any other time, I tend to burn it because I leave it in the microwave too long.

Well here's a hint that may help your situation; Just picture Rick wearing 5verBob's pink Speedo!

You're welcome.




Morning all.

Today is Wednesday, November 25th.

On this day in 1715 - Sybilla Thomas Masters became the first American to be granted an English patent for cleaning and curing Indian corn.

1758 - During the French and Indian War, the British captured Fort Duquesne at what is now known as Pittsburgh.

1783 - During the Revolutionary War, the British evacuated New York. New York was their last military position in the U.S.

1850 - Texas relinquished one-third of its territory in exchange for $10 million from the U.S. to pay its public debts and settle border disputes.

1867 - Alfred Nobel patented dynamite.

1884 - J.B. Meyenberg received the patent for evaporated milk.

1936 - The Anti-Comintern Pact, an agreement between Japan and Germany, was signed.

1947 - Movie studio executives meeting in New York agreed to blacklist the "Hollywood 10," who were cited a day earlier and jailed for contempt of Congress when they failed to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee.

1955 - In the U.S., the Interstate Commerce Commission banned racial segregation on interstate trains and buses.

1957 - U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a stroke.

1986 - U.S. President Reagan and Attorney Gen. Edwin Meese revealed that profits from secret arms sales to Iran had been diverted to rebels in Nicaragua.

Now let's get up and get going today!

I can get re manufactured tires in that size for $150. No seam on the tread, they actually re blow mold the casing. We don't run any caps on our fleet. I did however get my shop qualified for state pricing. Now I can get BFG or Michelin mounted on the truck for $200-250 each.
