So last spring I'm up skiing Beartooth Basin. Had a blast, but a big forest fire within sight to the northeast was putting off huge clouds of smoke and was the talk of the town so to speak. I go looking for a place to sleep and find a fairly large untended campfire just burning away with no vehicle or gear or people anywhere in sight. Mindblowing.Quote:

its crazy how a not especially influential individual can have such a huge impact on humanity as a whole these days. We really need people to understand the importance of cooperative mental states and outlooks.
I've been saying for a while we should bring back pterodactyls like we brought back condors. Just keep people on their tows. I read recently that deer in places where wolves have been reintroduced don't get hit by cars as much, not because the wolves hunt them near roads, but just because with wolves around they tend to not be as stupidly complacent.
Another thing Mazda does right. Our winter wheels for it don’t have sensors, and it doesn’t care. No warning light, no nothing.Quote:

The manual Honda we had before threw a warning light, but also wouldn’t let you turn off traction/stability control, which sucked for trying to get up hills or through deeper snow sometimes, but especially for trying to have fun.
Seems we could save a lot of complicated genetics and cloning if we just trained the wolves to eat the idiots....Quote:

Wildfires and the incessant smoke are always annoying. The season is only getting started :cussing::

sitting in the shade of the truck after fishing yesterday, i looked across at the truck next to me & scoped out his tires
then looked at mine
and saw "load c"
WTF?!?
apparently discount tire put load c on the right side of the truck & load e on the left side
:rolleyes2
...at least they're gonna swap em
Pt II
They put another Load C on
So…waiting again to have that one swapped off
I hope it’s the right brand this time? What else could happen?
Out of curiosity which tire are you working with here ?Quote:

the sales/mgr guy did it himself this time (not sure what his role is, but he isn't one of the normal shop guys)
Well, at least you figured it out early on and didn't have to deal with a tire failure or accident. Hopefully the shop can do something to "make it right" for ya.
We have psycho gun nuts who shoot up common places we all go to, so we don't need pterodactyls. A guy in Buffalo shot a bunch of grannies recently, some real survival of the fittest going on, preying on the weak. You should tell your friends these shootings are a great way to 'keep people on their toes'.Quote:

Ball joint?
Shit she didn't hit anything and came to a safe stop without wrecking the vehicle, I'd say it was a great place for it to happen.
Lol, holy shit. She parked it good, at least. I can't figure what happened there, did it lose all the lug nuts without her noticing something was up?? I see hub with studs, and no wheel, so ....
That's a SpiderTrax spacer on there.Quote:

^Looks like there are at least two studs showing in the picture
