They're 5 to 8 y/o and have tiny dry rot cracks.

Five to eight year old tires need to be replaced. In my opinion, good tires and brakes are the two most important things on a car.

Getting up to a high of 45 today.
Just waiting for it to get closer to 50, if it stays sunny like right now.

I agree.
I doubt I use 1/32nds of tread on trailer tires, but still replace due to age.

It is cheaper to replace the tires in a shop than having a blowout on the road. Much safer.

Oh yes they can.

I remember as a kid, at the city run pool, there was a black (colored dude at the time, now a person of color - either way, whatever), and that dude
had discernible tan lines. Could see it where his wife beater shirt exposed skin.

Anyway, a few years back, the VP (person of color )
of the company I was working at,
went to Fl over spring break with her daughter.
When she came back, I complimented her on her tan.
She gave me the stink eye.

Don’t forget your hail helmet like Porter when working outside

WTF,WTF.WTF,WTF,WTF,WTF

Got some work done between rain showers today. Starter on Merc changed, Jimmy wipers and fluid checks along with new air filter. Ordered some idler pulleys for the Jimmy as one of them is noisey now.

Had to pull up bunch of pavers along the house by driveway as they gave out from washed out soil and he fell about a month ago hurting shoulder pretty bad. Filled in with rocks, dirt and concrete and reset the pavers. Soil is almost sand so washes out easily. Not the first time I've had to repair them(different spots). Hands are killing me now damnit. But it had to be done.

New POS Honda has been acquired from his son we need to fix some stuff on so the ex and his daughter can have it. I won't be doing much as I draw the line at fixing their ****in cars most of the time. Lazy and stupid does not get helped by me.

Bear loving barking at cars and neighbors here plus alot of other dogs to run along fence with and bark at also. Nice and cool with no sun so perfect playing weather he said.
He found a spot by the gate he could chuck his ball through and it'd roll under the car right next to me. He squeaked that damn ball 4000 times I bet. Can you hear me dad....

Motrin time and heat pad for back which just loved the cold concrete.

Got it done around 11ish. I fertilized back on the 1st,
so the past week where we had 4 straight days in the 80s
woke the grass up but good. then it snowed.

Still pretty freaking cold (~40), didn't work up a sweat.
I contemplated wearing gloves, but toughed it out.
My 1 y/o push mower wouldn't start (too cold).
I yanked the plug out, warmed the cylinder with a
propane torch, put plug back in, started on 4th pull.
This in itself was a big accomplishment for me.
Last fall, my sciatica was so bad, I couldn't use push mower at all.
Didn't even get the rider out today, and I still feel quite good back-wise.

Horry shit!!
No comment on 2nd pic.

Oil change done, rear brakes tomorrow on the Merc. My joints are screaming now. I really hate the cold.

Good Sunday morning everyone!

Walking much better these days by the way, no leakage at the wound, just nice pink new growth.
And just in time for the old boy's funeral this Saturday. We held off just for that reason. So I could walk kinda normal. Not dancing yet but soon.....as long as I can drive my old cars I'll be happy.

Have a great day everyone!
