    Well.. Better than what I gotta do....
    Remove a flat tire from my pickup box bed trailer that is cat pissed rusty and replace it with one that holds air.. It is my wife's compost hauling trailer...
    When your elbows are shot....

    I'm gonna put on my short pants and flip-flops and go sweep the driveway and pretend I'm shoveling snow. No, I'll BLOW the driveway and make "vroom" sounds while I'm at it. Dangit.

    Break it loose with a bar then spin them off, spin them on then toeque..
    The charger's bad. It got hot as a pistol soon after plugging it in. Burn the house down hot. Try again....

    Friend of mine spent an afternoon shaving down his calipers to fit his wheels... then later he had to do it again to fit his skinnies.
    When we've got over two grand in front calipers.....I'm not going to go grinding on them. That's been the hard part, the mandatory mission to find wheels that will clear them. I think I would grind on the wheels if it came to that, they're worth far less. Just sayin. But grinding for clearance comes at a cost and a risk, either way. Either way, I wouldn't grind, just me. Just sayin.

    It's for the best. Yeah, It'll snow here, by all illegitimate guesses, but it'll warm up so fast on Sunday morning/afternoon that it'll be completely gone. Roads just wet. We could get to Road Atlanta on Sunday just fine, no issues. And at the track, just rain, all rain.

    But there are a whole lot of folks who come to these events from all over the map. If they're trying to get there from the north...yeah, they would be at risk, it'll be worse to the north of here. Best to call it off. I understand that.

    We'll try it again in April, already re-scheduled. I'm over it. Cussed when I saw the announcement, but I understand it entirely.

    I can't even take a decent photo of how close the clearance is between the rim and the front caliper, but it clears.

    No, this will not allow a tape-on wheel weight to pass through.

    <<<Insert an extremely long string of gross profanity here, and repeat until completely satisfied and emotionally relieved>>>>

    They've cancelled the Road Atlanta event because of the "snow" that is predicted in our area Saturday night/Sunday morning.

    A good time for us to look up Need for Speed and watch it.

    The movie, I don't think so. Do they go real fast in the movie?
    It is a moral imperative that you and the Sue Unit watch this movie! Observe "The Beast, and Beauty" you will get the jest of my previous statement.
