Just got home from getting new tires on the Silverado..
Settled for some $758.00 TOYO H/T's There a 4 ply tire ad a 60,000 mile tire. Which Im sure I will be able to far surpass that Mileage...LOL

Of course now... Its Raining... After doing an under the hood check up...
I found number 6 plug is loose! I visually saw it actually bouncing around with the plug wire! o, Now Im gonna wait til it cools down and possibly stops raining before I tighten it back up.

Heres a before shot of the old cracked tires...

Heres the new Toyo H/T Treads!.... Dbl Meat!


Its Sure is nice to have new Meats! Ya its raining... Guess I will have to wait for the next sunshiny day to get it washed...lol

Good Morning it is . Had morning coffee with a friend of mine here. Lives right behind me. We have morning coffee's and if its cool out in the evenings. We sit there and bs and have a few tall cool ones . Very busy day ahead of me today. Since were leaving for home early in the morning. I have a lot of things to get finished around here. Plus got to go say our good byes to our friends & family down here. Then drop off our cable box and little things like that. Hope to get a early start up the mountain in the early morning. Then off to New Mexico for our 1st night. Ok I really have to get my gas in gear . I'd like to comment on whats going on our site here. But I have too much to do right now. I'll log in when we stop at night. Usually late afternoon were pulled over for the night. Gives us a chance to relax from the traffic and sitting for 8 hrs. Then relax with a dinner and watch some Tv. Ok gotta go SEE you all tomorow evening

Friend of mine just quoted me at $970 out-the-door for a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, 235/50R18; that includes tires ($210 each), installation, and balancing. I'm adding an alignment to that but if I can get an appointment scheduled I think I'm going to jump on that later this week.

After discussing it ... We decided to save $290.00 and go 1 step down to the Toyo 's...
Instead of the Michelins.
Good choice Matt.

LOL, are you serious? What is the point of even spending that much in the first place at a carnival!

Speaking of money, just got a e-mail from one of the staff at the car show I was just at 2 days ago. I apparently won the giant basket with 25+ lottery tickets from a raffle.
