I know...and people (cough-Wayne) seem to think I have some sort of tire issue. Now don't that just beat all?

Well...took the tire off yesterday...and I misspoke...it was not my usual PR2, it was a take-off that I had moved down with me from up Nort. BT-023 cast in the 6th week of 2013. Stuck purty well.

It was a flatlander tire...that musta been why there was so much side meat left. ;)

Probably some squid. They're all over NGA; drive WAY too fast and pass on the double-yellow, etc. Buncha pricks.


So sorry to have missed you this time.
