    I'm having the "DAY OF TIRE" today.

    New spare (from previous tires) is on the front of the Escape, but it's leaking out the valve stem.

    The trailer has it's spare on, but that leaves one tire that's still probably close to blowing.
    So, now I need to get 2 more trailer tires.
    ERRRRR.

    So, I just heard someone trying to describe a migraine to someone. Their description was, "a brain freeze. Except instead of lasting 15 seconds, it just keeps going."

    What do you think?

    It's not the worst description, but doesn't capture the nausea and general malaise effectively. Or the light sensitivity.

    Mine follow a very predictable pattern. Light sensitivity (which I may not notice at first). Little random dots of flashing lights and floaters.. I call them sparkles. By then I know what's up and I reach for my Relpax. Then comes the huge black spots that block my vision. God help me if I'm driving or even trying to peel that damn foil off the Relpax blister pack. Then comes the nausea and :puke:. Then comes the guy inside my eyeball(s) trying to poke his way out with an icepick. (That's the part that could be interpreted as brain freeze, I guess.)

    I just replaced the front tires on my wife's escape yesterday. I hit a sewer grate and took a big chunk out of one. It still held air, so that was good. Then I had to listen to the service guy at the ford dealership go on about how he want's single payer healthcare. :xmad:

    :drool:
    I have never see that gun but have read about it in several books and the one that comes to mind is "unintended consequences".
    What a beautiful gun for what it did to that APPLE product!
    I would be willing to pay $60 a round to be able to do that.

    I wonder however if that gun could actually go thru modern day tanks? :dunno:
    It was used against early german tanks IIRC.

    Buy tires rated for double the weight you intend to haul. I went through a set of 4 every year until I learned to pay double for better rated tires, and they're on year three now. And that's including a couple trips well overloaded with 12-15,000 lbs tractors on a 10klb trailer.

    I agree, but his tires looked pretty good for the size of the trailer he had. Its a lightweight trailer, probably a 5'x8' with a 1500 max load. The tires were NOT the ultra-cheepies you see on some of the those small landscape trailers. They were also not undersized, which is often a problem on the small trailers. So I think he may have just had some bad luck.

    I'd actually like to get a trailer that size, but with a 3500# axel under it and real automotive tires. Not that I'd carry 3500# on such a small trailer, but it would certainly be a more rugged little trailer that would handle just about anything that would fit on the bed.
