50+ thread

I love Michelin tires. You just cannot wear them out. My Dodge Cummins 2500 came with Michelin M/S tires from the factory. At 108K miles, I finally replaced them (with an identical set of new Michelin M/S) because I was about to go huntin in a very rocky area in Colorado (been there before a few times) and the sidewalls looked like they were cracking, and I didn't want to risk multiple blow outs and a very long walk to the closest town..... the OEM tires still had close to 1/2 the tread life left at 108K miles, and 8 years on the truck.

My dad told me a story of a Ford Ranchero he owned in the 1950's that had Michelin tires on it, he ran them for 10+ years, sold the car to a friend, who proceeded to run them for many more years....

Only reason I don't have them on my Tacoma is they don't have an aggressive enough tread pattern for what I want. Otherwise I would but nothing else.

 

I just put my second set of Hankooks on , I have zero problems with them and the first ones lasted quite a long time. Yes , the lug nut has been replaced .

 

An idea for your wife.
If it's not to late they should check out Kokomo Charters.
Great boat ride and tour. All times of the day.

 

Open, but mixed reports on the run, water levels, etc. We're kinda biding our time on this one ... see how it comes together. Might end going for the second run later in July.

 

Checking in with the 50+ after a long weekend. First time I've been off from work on Juneteenth, was a beautiful day AND I got lots done in the yard. Also made points at home because I did a 20oz NY in a cast iron for the wife. (OK, she gave ALMOST half) Was hoping the contractor would get the texture on the bathroom so I could paint, but he didn't come until after 3, so guess who gets to rush home and paint tonight so everything can go back together in the next day or two?

Will be covering the walls/ceiling in "cool rain" later.

Pic didn't go the first time . . .

Liked to unlike ... as Blevin said recently ... Fickle Witch on a bender this year.

 

I don’t know if it’s my guardian angel or Mother Nature who doesn’t want me to visit Alaska but they are determined to keep me out of there lol

 

Banff and Jasper both have awesome views of the Northern Rockies and very scenic wilderness .I've got a large picture hanging on my wall of valley of the ten peaks with Moraine lake in the foreground

 

Evening RJ - he's young enough he should recover fast How's he doing today?

It is beautiful country. Detour?

evening all

 

Hopes and prayers brother. Last time I went to Ketchikan it was late King season. My adopted sister warned me that I might get shut out of the run. Figured I’d take my chances…worst case scenario I’d go out for halibut. Ended up working in my favor though because they declared a terminal fishery on my first day out so every king was legal.

 

3 more days and I will be out camping myself. Hopefully you can get back out soon. Headed toward the coast this time which worked out because it’s snowing up on the pass today. Going to be a sloppy mess for the next few days. Have fun

 

Having problems as you're aging?

 

Good morning everyone

Raining here currently.

 

Good Morning Hump Day!
