    Definitely not suggesting that, just wondering if that was something you actually saw. That took a brave soul to show up with that!

    P.S. is that one wheel or two? Coulda bought a new rim for the cost of the weights. :rofl:

    I understand. At 60, I am not what I was when I was 50. 77 is a lifetime away for me. Getting old is not for the weak.

    Anything after 25 mph it would go into death wobble.
    I can’t believe they let that go out of the shop.
    I think that pic is one wheel. Just found that on the net to poke the bear a little…lol
    :boink::boink::boink:

    Mine was almost as bad. I think he got a few more mpg after I went over all the tires.
    If I could have saved all those weights I could have used them for a whole year..

    Farmers around here will pile field rock at the corners of their fields just to get them out of the way to plant.

    Then your wife makes you load them up and haul them home to put in the yard :anonymous:

    We have miles and miles of stone walls all over the place. Everywhere you look :rofl:. Walking in the woods, bam, there’s a stone wall. Driving down the road, bam, there’s another.



    Good morning everyone :hattip:.

    Down here in Rock Hill, SC, we have quartz chunks and flint. You can never get all the quartz out of the field. We picked it up for two years after plowing, but the same amount showed up the next time, so we just leave it.

    What luxury!
    You can never casually use a trencher where I live, need an excavator to plant a flower it seems.

    That famous "Marcellus Shale" gas boom of a few years ago was right in my back yard.
    Stone walls or the remains of are all over.

    All those rocks regularly float to the surface and play the devil with the mower too... :frusty:

    For years an old neighbor & his wife had a side job working for a farmer picking rocks.

    They both grew up on farms and missed the work, it was good exercise and he was big into Native American studies.

    Over the many years they found bunches of arrowheads they displayed in their home.
