What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Now I'm shopping tires. Most likely will be Michelin possible the Agilis Crosscliment but want to see if the LTX M/S2 are available in 20's load range E. After that will be seeing what options I have on the box, will get better pictures tomorrow. Problem with Aluminum is that once it starts to crack it's very difficult to stop it.
At least tomorrow is the famous MONDAY.

 

Take a look at Falken wild peaks. Michelin are good tires, but not very aggressive and over priced.

 

I think all the heat in the mid-west and east is making for cooler weather on the west coast. We have been in the low 80's all week. It's been very nice.

 

The only time I liked Coronas was camping in the desert with a lime wedge stuffed in the bottle. Sounds like a good time Horkn

 

Got my first ride on the new bike. Nice ride into work this morning.

 

Yes, lime wedges were deployed on every bottle.

 

Sorry, never tried it, what do the lime wedges do, besides help cover up the nasty flavor?

 

Woke up and this is the best it gets today.


At least until the storm front comes through about 6-7 pm.

 

Yes.

That's what I think. They are nice then

 

More proof that you wanna be a Yuppie!

Had to gear down a little and change my reply!!

 

We have the Wild peaks on our Ram 1500 after a ton of research. As this truck sees a lot of highway miles going to hometown I want them to be more on the quiet side with good wear plus the LLC (farms) is going to purchase them, and my brother loves Michelin, as I make lots of 300-mile round trips up there to help out with Dad's estate. I've also had great luck with the LTX M/S2 on my old E350 van in most types of weather including snow.

 

Brother gave me the idea of looking at takeoff beds and he is correct as I'm seeing them for the $500 range. There is one place across the river that has new takeoffs (2024) for $350 but need to try and find out if they will fit as most places talk like 2023 and up are different. That new sidestep would be very handy.

 

Lol. It's just really a crappy beer that requires the lime to fix it

A real yuppie would be drinking some crazy craft brew triple IPA.

 

Feels like a hot shower when you walk outside again today.

 

Lost power about an hour ago. Super loud bang, then all power out in the neighborhood.

Probably a transformer blew. Very windy then that happened

I reported it to the energy company. No generator here.. not yet at least

 

Well that'll teach ya...get a genny...at least a small inverter type...cheap insurance!
Is your power provider pretty responsive on repairs?
We are lucky to be on a well run community owned power grid, we are very rarely off more than a few minutes, and rarely at that! If we blew a transformer I'd venture a guess it'd be replaced in less than 2 hours (unless during a major outage, with lots of damage)
Part of that response time is due to living within 3 miles of the powerplant. But they have a great line crew too!

 

Yeah our provider is usually super responsive. This is the longest we've been without power since we bought this house in 2008. Still no update on the map as to power restoration ETA.

 

Ok. Update is service restoral at 4:30 am. Ok. I'll go to bed now
