    Little early, but there's just something just not right about putting snow tires on the Tacoma while the sweat pouring off of you! :laughing:
    Probably could wait awhile, but like to have them on for hunting.

    I know what you mean. Been times here where we've had a storm come thru and people are scrambling to get new tires on. Tires are on sale about that tike too, I plan ahead/behind. Try to avoid any rush.

    My rule of thumb is: winter tires go on before Thanksgiving and stay on until Tax Day. But I don't have any winter tires for our cars anymore. :anonymous: Unlike a few years ago, neither of us are in positions where we *have* *to* get somewhere no matter the weather, so we just stay home. It feels like a luxury after all those years of fighting the storms.

    Hope it is internet BS Carl. He got a first rate education on the governments bill and this is how he pays it back:confused::confused::confused::mad::mad::mad::smack:. Times are changing and I feel for the worst. I won't continue on a rant as I don't have enough space to rant....race, political, foreign affairs etc. But I will say, he should be discharged with a dishonorable and pay for his education. If he defaults on his payments...Bubba needs a new roommate after Obama released all those to ease overcrowding:facepalm::facepalm:.

    Hey Duane, how are you doing? Wasnt' Berkley a hot spot back in the 60's?

    I was still at home in the 60s, on the farm. Middle of Nevada if after '66, no phone, no connection to any utilities. More concerned about spot lighting jack rabbits.

    Hope you get your limit while hunting this season Carl. My snow tires go on the Tacoma in November. Sad day as it means my summer tires and rims come off for the winter.

    Hope the asshole keeps his back to a wall and his door locked so he doesn't get fragged:eek:. You know those grenades can get away from you sometimes:confused:. Don't know how he made it through the academy.

    I'll be down Monday morning with my Tacoma Tom...How do you like your coffee or would you prefer an egg McMuffin???LOL:fistbump:
    Did a good job Tom, it looks great for a daily driver.

    I was thinking the same thing! I like driving them first, fixing them second, cleaning them dead last.

    It's to the point I hate fixing them, cleaning them, and driving them with the aholes on the streets .

    I guess I am too old school. I have always felt that a clean well maintained car rides better. Maybe just a placebo. :D :thumbsup:

    Sometimes it is hard to have all the cars in the home cleaned at one time. :anonymous:

    If I had time then maybe. On vacation my vehicles get the once over.. Maybe twice over.
    Away from home 12 hours a day leaves you little time for important stuff

    Help. I have a tablet and finally read I can't get rid of third party pop ups. I have only one pop up like this and only get it when in eBay. Can I get them to go to a fake address or at least get them to be able to be minimized? There isn't a live spot on their full page to exit out of. They have a small note on top of the full page for a drawing for a wally world gift card which I can back out of, but the full page simple survey remains. I understand they are wanting to verify my addy and want to dig for more info.
    Also, damn WM keeps sending me emails ever since i tried to order a helmet thru the internet on their site, then they were out of the helmet. Ive tried to unsubscribe three times the last couple weeks, so today i also went into my account and entered a new email address. Will see if that works. Funny, i got a confirmation right away my account info had been changed. Jeez.
