We got $75.00 each out of our when we put 6 new tires on 2 years ago. Paid for M&B + a little off each tire. Then it didn't help the dealer when his guy scratched up each of the aluminum wheels when changing them and had to pay to have them all machine cut and re-polished.

I love the carabiner hook.... I have one on my water bottle... It makes a nice grab place...

Send me tire sizes and I will ask a couple of friends around there and see if they know anyone who might take them. At least you would save the disposal fee.

It's was $5 a tire - $30 bucks for 6 at one place. Will call Wed on getting them scheduled and see what they charge. I'm betting it's the same - or close. Area prices are pretty close. That's why I wasn't really worried about it. The disposal fee is nothing compared to getting paid $75 a used tire. I wouldn't drive 20 miles across town for $30. For that plus $450, my BIL has a truck!

This is all a bloody nuisance, but will pass and isn't painful now. It's just a shame to cut short both the kayaking and the biking...nothing to do now but sit around eating bonbons. And bacon.

Nighty-night!

Ok Steve here is what you do, strap them bad boys on the roof and bring them on up here to the GC. We can transfer them over to the roof on Chucks coach during happy hour. I'd say around here you'll hardly get a second look, well maybe a few people pointing and snapping pictures. (Thinking Dave)

Amen to all that. I use 'em for lots of things, too, color coded for which car keys, which set of doors, .... Aluminum in colors is just fun to look at.

Palatki, Honanki, tuzigoot, and Montezuma's Castle are also worth peeking at...

Hey! Get him to fry yer bacon!
Perhaps a good book series is a healing thing?

Two things to search when you have time that helped us...

1- w-8 never shuts own completely...it only sleeps. So this works:

How to Shut Down Windows 8 Completely

2- the log in can be changed so it is start-up and go:

How to bypass the Windows 8 log-in screen | Microsoft - CNET News
I just printed the instructions for getting rid of the log-in and password but at 4:09 AM I'll do it later.

Thanks for the info.

Steve - we're good for two glasses, are they available in 20 oz size? TEA sippers use BIG cups 'cause tea taste sooooo gooood.
