Not much better up north.

I have a friend who blew two tires, wrecked two rims, and did a several thousand dollars worth of suspension damage in in about 0.345 seconds!

The UK is now the pothole capital of the world. Official.

Mine got stitched by a number 1 phillips. Never did find the handle. All wheel drive had to replace all 4 while I was away enjoying family, fried and
rotisserie'd turkeys. No inner tube.

I picked up the blade of a knife in one once upon a time. Trashed the tire totalmente. And then there are the two times where I hit a storm drain drop inlet steel gizmo and cut the side out of the tire.


Fawkin tires . . . .

Back when my grandfather was on the farm during WWII, they had to make a trip to town, about 10 miles. I remember him telling me tubes were hard to get, and too expensive anyway. They fixed the same flat tire 11 times the way there and back. Hand jack, hand pump, maybe a tire iron.

Yet, I complain if I need to add air to any of my tires once every 6 months, using a 5hp 60 gallon compressor, with an air drop piped to the garage where we park. I guess time have changed. Maybe we've gotten soft.

Soft?? Ya think???


These kids are pussies, many of them. Glad mine (son and 2 nephews) are workin' hosses.

I picked up a piece of bone in one from some roadkill... it was slowly leaking through the marrow.

I bet he had a giant turquoise belt buckle!

Bet? You know he did.


He was such a fuckin' flake.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Are they free range weasels?

And ill tempered?

The nastiest. They fight back while yer killin' them.

Dad bought a car long ago and in the first 100 miles, he picked up a 6" file in one tire and a piece of angle iron in another one.


It was a Pinto . . . .

Wife did that once. It was the carcass on the road I had been avoiding all week. Ont trip to town she had a flat.

Her: "I don't know what I hit"
Me: (while plugging tire) "I do".

She is the most amazing woman I've ever met. However she's not good at avoiding road hazards. Take the good with the bad, I guess...

We're to the point we can laugh about her inability to dodge anything on the road.

Slow leaving home this morning. The roads were basically okay. Went to the old folks' home to meet with them about money stuff. The money woman had gone home early, but the ED bosslady was there, and that's who I wanted to talk to anyway. (How do I pick up the cat's laser and Ethyl is sleeping and wakes up and comes a'runnin'? I have no fucking idea). We had a nice chat, she and I. She was dressed in her snow attire, and rockin' it. Did I mention that she's adorable? She gave me a hug and lingered a bit, which was nice. She then asked me to volunteer to talk to the men's side of stuff. About most anything. Wat can talk, and he knows shit. He agreed. There is an ulterior motives: she works there, and Wat will be forced to run into her again. And again, maybe. And the other hug was to go. It was kinda like high school when the girl you like hugs you. Hardly knew how to act.


They had best fix that tire up in Joizee. They'll wank about and Wat will find something else to buy.


The shooping for a dump truck has begun . . . .

I’d settle for a little of that, half way in between would be ideal, only first week of summer, second day over 40c, fresh winds fanning fires, only getting smoke so far I so can’t complain

I remember the wildfires of 2019.
Between Australia, Canada, and the Western US I had to get a second HEPA Air Purifier for my 1100 sq ft condo just to breathe in my own home.

It's been bad again a few seasons, so I have a third, even more powerful one boxed up and ready to go when the time comes.

I have a really difficult time breathing with smoke of any kind. Even someone blowing out a candle at 50 paces can put a hitch in my step.

You mean... you... you... got weaseled?!?

I really work to avoid them. I used to always point them out when the wife was driving, but then she'd hit them anyway.

But then learned that saying "Quick, hit that pothole!" would cause her to swerve away from it.

I don't know why it works, but if you're married you probably understand...

I fully understand!...
...but my Goddess is the opposite. I think She is related to Mario Andretti, as She's one helluva great driver.

I was just urging Her, yesterday, to NOT push the envelope so hard, to keep a "little change in Her pocket" for when She rounds the curve to find fallen rock, deer, etc in the road.

My dad and brother tried that on me. Called me back outside after I had been asked to run some errand.

Got me all nervous when they asked if I knew what I hit. Then had me come around to the front and look at the grill.

I took one look and almost puked.

Me: Really?!?
Dad and brother start laughing

I hit a pigeon

With a 3/4 ton passenger van

I walked away and left them with the cleanup

Yeah they were the worst ever, this is the first summer since then that we haven’t had La Niña, forests now refilled, it’s actually not that bad so far today, but it’s early in the season, fingers crossed the east coast doesn’t go up again

Best of luck this season (and every season, really). Me? I'm a fan of breathing. Go figure
