I want to replace my trailer tires because of age. I want the most reliable
tires I can get. Should they be LT or T? Radial or bias? Does load range
matter. Max weight will be 1800 to 2400 lb including trailer. Should the
spare be replaced too? I will try to keep the speed down to 60 to save gas
but my speedo has a tendancy to creep to 70 or 75 when I'm not looking. I'm
not planning on adding trailer brakes as the tow vehicle is rated far
beyond the combined vehicle weights. Is that OK?


I think you should go water your bananas instead.
Still debating about a trip.

I don't get it.

Oh - wait - bananas have skins - tires are called skins.

Now I get it.

Still debating about a trip.

ROAD TRIP!!!!

Speaking of road trips ....

I received a call today from a guy I met a couple of years ago at a classic
car show. He had an absolutely beautiful '63 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible
that I was drooling over. I don't know why, but I've always liked this
particular Ford year and have been searching off and on for one for several
years. They are hard to find that are in good shape and reasonably priced.

Anyway, he has decided to sell it and had saved my telephone number from the
time we met.

I am going over to his house tomorrow with a check.

Crazy. I've been getting rid of most of the old cars ..... sold the '46
Ford, the '64 Ford, the '55 F-100 and gave the '69 Charger away. I have
kept the '67 GTO and the Porsche (just in case I run into wiseguys with
Corvettes). Now, I am starting over again. Oh well.

Speaking of Vette's, my kid would kill for a ride in a fast Corvette?
Wonder if I know anyone who has one

Debating who? If you come make sure you're not being followed. Especially
when you pass through Mary's land.

Love that year car - in particular the convertible. Nice catch.

Kewl beans. If you ever decide to sell it, let me know.

Gee - I wonder who that could be.

Now, I am starting over again. Oh well.

I thought about a car or two over the winter, but I've still got the
'Vette and figured I'd rather do something else. When I had the GTX
and the 'Vette, I could never figure out how to drive both of them at
the same time - didn't want to get into that again.

So I started helicopter flight lessons. Always wanted to learn how to
fly a helicopter properly - I had some 'copter time, but nothing
formal.

Now I'm looking at buying a 'copter instead of a car. :)

Got my kid a motorcycle for Christmas, manual transmission, 4 speed..
These kids are amazing. They are so used to analog controls from X-Box
that after a couple of verbal lessons, backed up with a couple of
drawings on the workings of the machine, my kid got on and drove it
away. Probably stalled it 4 - 5 times since then, that's all. As soon
as the weather breaks, we are going to try the Blazer... I like to
teach my kids to drive young, my last one learned in my Jeep. I drove
up to the state park and down a dirt road to a dead end, put her in
the drivers seat and told her to back it out! Told her anyone could go
forward, that's easy. If you can back it out of here, you can take it
anywyere... Seriously, that was the first time she drove, or worked a
clutch... The scarey part was later that week when I took her out on
the highway. Getting on the ramp she looked over her shoulder and
turned did not think to keep the wheel straight. Up on two wheels, one
side, then the other, but we did not flip She pulled over, had a
cry, a cigarette, and we drove off again...
