yumm.... birthday cake!!!!

afternoon all

 

Another oil change done and over with. Which means, it's time to rotate tires again. I'll hold off on that for a few days. My Super-Bumps should be here by end of the week. While I have wheels up in the air and off the truck would be an excellent time to do that job also.

Starting to actively tire shop. I want to put 285/75/16's on this time. Either Duratracs, Mastercraft MTX's, or Goodrich KM2's. Leaning towards the Mastercraft's. (Made by Cooper) They are a superb mud tire that wears really well. Other considerations are 255/85/16's (KM2's), Possibly a 285/70/16 of some unknown brand, or, stick with the 265/75/16's..... Really want the bigger tires, but in the back of my mind I know that MAY be a mistake. (Love my gas mileage)

Also starting the search process to find the right brand of sliders.

 

Well she is stable. But almost blind now. Sugars are high, plus now we just found out she has gall stones. Alert, but frail.

 

@TownvilleTim I am sorry to hear about your FIL. My FIL and I stayed best friends even after his daughter left us, there was too much water under the bridge and history not to. My heart goes out to you and your family. @Tacoma Mike hope your MIL does as well as she can. My mother had a stroke a few years ago and while she is doing better than most she is in assisted living near my youngest sister. Strokes are mean and ugly, right up there with cancer IMO.

 

I was just thinking he was going to have to let air out of the tires if he goes just a tad higher. Lol. Looks great.

 

Sorry for your hard times Tim and Mike. I really don't know what else to say for encouragement and can only wish you and yours better times ahead.

 

bath time!!

 

Wife has a 'peer' review tomorrow and her boss has not invited anyone else. She thinks she is getting set up to be let go. Why even call it a peer review, now she is all stressed out, I hate where she works.

 

well that sucks!cant anybody catch a break?

 

oooohhh shiney!!! You must be feeling better.

Hope she's worrying for nothing. Can she find something else?

 

still stuffy,but getting better. thanks sue!! And how are you doin?

 

for getting better. I'm good Greg. Thanks. Not ready for Monday though

 

as long as you are fine. i'm off tomorrow-that doesnt help does it?

 

No!!!

 

She has been there 18 years and has held middle management jobs but there has been a slow push to get younger (read, lower paid) people and no one wants her on their staff. So who knows. She is 5 miles from work and the next closest job market for her is 35 miles cross town traffic.

 

that really sucks!!! Stinks no one wants her... she probably knows a lot more than two or three of them put together.

 

Andy That sucks I hope it works for both of you. I know how stressful that can be.

 

bob beat me to it!

 

i'm gonna go sit in my garage. i wish for all of us for things to go right!
