Was driving to work today and my tire decided to say "F This S" and the entire inside of the tire is gone. The problem is because of the tires I have (stupid grippy tires) they are about $225 each. Add the alignment and the oil change and flush, looking at a -$600 day.
 
Looks like we're going to go to a cabin near Garden of the Gods in a few weeks. Mom is going with us, so not as much hiking, but should still be fun.

Had that happen with my S10 just north of the ID/UT line a little after midnight once, the whole sidewall came off and the tire blew out. The tire was in pretty sad shape when I bought the truck but I lied to myself and said it'll be fine. Threw the spare on and slept at the next rest stop. Made it into Ogden, UT the next morning just before the Wal-mart T&L express opened. Got two new tires on the front and about 24 hours later I was in Kansas City. Never driving that far by myself again.

I was driving St. Louis to Marion, Il for work. Was just passed Scott AFB when it happened. I called work told them I wasn't going to make it, then went to my tireshop. I walked in with the dead tire in my hand and said "Hey Gary, I think something is wrong with my tire..." he walked over looked at it real quick grabbed a nail off his desk and goes "Well see the problem is you have a nail in it" and stuck the nail through it. Apparently he rang it up as a road hazard replacement instead of it being the fact I put 100,000 miles on a 30,000 mile tire.

Lucky! That area is gorgeous! Make sure you take lots of pictures so I can live vicariously through you! I still haven't found anyone to go hike out there with me!

I actually didn't word that very well. We're going with her, haha. She asked if we wanted to go for a ride somewhere, and spend the night, so I suggested getting a cabin and doing a small bit of hiking.

bleh.
I just had my truck looked at this morning 'cause I need new tires. fortunately that seems to be about it.
They also noticed my third rear light was out, and replaced it. Eval and bulbs: $5. Now the tires will cost real money, but I'm not a rubber snob and drive on pavement 99% of the time. Sometimes on the back lawn for moving stuff, sometimes on a dirt road to the club... that's about it.
 
It takes a real man to admit he likes a banjo.
In public.
 
The definition of "perfect pitch"... throwing a banjo in a dumpster without hitting the sides. ETA: Aww, man... Lee beat me to it :D
 
I love the banjo. The wife is learning how to play the ukulele.
